Here’s What Makes Us So Unique
Celebration & Community Building
The IMC welcoming and closing celebrations are a big part of what make our organization’s events so memorable, and we invite everyone to attend. Because we build in time to be together and because our organizations reach people at the grass-roots level, we hope that our attendees leave feeling rejuvenated, refreshed, honored, and filled with a sense of belonging. Re-Visioning Our Conference

At the Individual Level ...
Our goal is to renew and inspire teachers and administrators, so they may find the inner peace and balance they need to be energized and proactive agents for change when they return to their respective schools. We aim to help attendees develop intentional practices that will empower them to sustain and grow as Montessori educators. At The Classroom Level ...
Our conference helps teachers refresh their knowledge, learn new skills, and deepen their expertise as teachers, including: Montessori lessons; classroom design; classroom management; team teaching; positive relationships with students; and communication with parents. Page 2
At the Delegate Level ...
Our focus is to educate and train teachers and administrators to be actively engaged in building partnerships with their local legislators and state departments of education. The goal is to become more effective advocates for a better understanding of Montessori and to ensure that Montessori is not adversely affected by regulations passed for general education programs. At the School Leadership Level ...
Our focus is to empower Montessorians to gain leadership skills so they can better guide their schools toward success and realize Montessori’s vision. We offer high-level, professional instruction and coaching on the central facets

Flying in?
Travel Reminders
Sarasota and the Hyatt are both destination locations. Sarasota airport is less than 15 minutes to the conference hotel, and the hotel has a direct shuttle. While flying into Tampa airport may save you some money, the cost of the shuttle and the time it takes to get down here are lost when you add it all up. Book early to get some great rates to SRQ (Sarasota’s airport code). For those flying into Tampa, you will need to privately contract with a shuttle service such as Super Shuttle. The cost varies but can be as much as $75 each way if traveling alone.
AUDIO RECORDING BONUS

Playground Sensory Screening: Tools For Assessing Neurosensory Development In Children (Pt 1) / Leadership Infant/Toddler Dr John Edwards
Newborn reflexes, once thought by healthcare and developmental professionals to “disappear,” actually seem to integrate to form the foundation of the sensory nerve system. This workshop will give attendees the subtle cues of a system that is either hypo or hyper-responsive so they can help integrate activities at school and home, plus learn a framework for discussing this with parents. This is a hands-on workshop.

Treasure Baskets, Heuristic Play & Early Music Making (Pt 1) / Classroom - Infant/Toddler Georgina Hood
Georgina will lead us on a journey of exploration through the simple wonders of the Treasure Baskets, Heuristic Play and Early Music Making. The underpinning of this unique journey is the practical way Georgina’s shows us how to “cook up” the energy that will open the hearts of mother and the young infant. This experience is nurtured in a safe, calm and peaceful environment. For families starting their Montessori journey, there is no better way to bring awareness with real attention than by Page 7

Creating a Cooperative Classroom (Pt 1 ) / Leadership Primary Lorna McGrath
Are you frustrated when children refuse to clean up after lunch when asked? Do you find yourself in power struggles with some of your students? Do you sometimes feel that you have tried all the strategies that you have and things are still sometimes chaotic? Do you ever ask, “What can I do instead of punishing?”
If so, this two part workshop is for you! There will be many reallife classroom situations that we will figure out together. You will gain many strategies for fulfilling students’ needs before misbehaviors begin – preventive medicine. You will learn to create a space in your classroom for children to use when their feelings get the best of them. Join us for a fun, active, and informative workshop. OPTION 4
Peace Education: A Holistic Approach / Leadership - All levels Dr. JP Dave & Shetal Walters
The theme of our presentation is the emerging shift in teaching, learning, parenting, and our approach to peace education is holistic. The paradigm is based on the ancient philosophy and practice of inner work that is called Mindfulness. It has three levels: intrabeing, interbeing and transbeing – all intrinsically related to each other.
To create and sustain peace education in our schools, we need to involve all interconnected components of peacefulness. The challenge for all of us is to apply it to us as learners, teachers, parents and administrators in our schools. Peace education is a significant component in the curriculum. How to create and sustain peace within us, between us and among us and beyond us in classrooms, play grounds, home and our commu-
WORKSHOPS
nities. It is a big and tall order. As educators we spend energy mindfully in different yet interrelated aspects and areas of education peace in our school. Indeed, children, teachers, administrators, and parents are all integral parts of the Gestalt of our schools. In this workshop we will explore holistic ways of cultivating and sustaining peacefulness within ourselves and with others connected to us. We will engage participants in a good discussion on the paradigm and its application with experiential learning, practice and sharing sessions. We look at peace in classrooms as branches of the big Tree of Peace Education. OPTION 5
Peaceful Conversations in an Adolescent Classroom: Lessons on Socratic Seminars / Classroom – Secondary Jocelyn Bell Swanson
Peace is served for the adolescent through reflection and conversation, both of which perpetuate peaceful action. The Socratic Seminar is a powerful tool to engage a young adult’s mind in such reflection on a selected topic or reading, such as Peace. In preparing for a subsequent meaningful conversation among peers, students annotate and make critical connections. They then develop essential skills in formal conversation that require intelligence, compassion, insight, and openPage 8

Building a Partnership Between Board, Admin and Faculty (Pt 1) / Leadership Administrators Tim Seldin
Effective boards and leaders of schools define their school’s
core values and institutional identity and then proceed to establish policy and priorities that stem directly from this fundamental perspective.
This 2-part workshop will explore how effective boards and administrative teams: define, reexamine, and “cradle” the vision; define the mission statement; follow a “blueprint” of core values; develop a long-range vision; and create a mind-set of abundance and confidence.
We will explore: the composition of effective boards; the roles effective board members play; the responsibilities and obligations of board service; how

Inquiry-Based Learning In A Montessori Middle School / Leadership - Administrator Dr. Paul Epstein
Building A Partnership Between Board, Administration & Page 9
The Montessori Middle School is based on the needs of young adolescents and is more than a continuation of Montessori Elementary programs.
This session will share the Montessori-International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Program (MYP) model that we have developed during the past four years at the Rochester Montessori School, located in Rochester, MN. The model blends Montessori’s Erdkinder vision and the IB MYP curriculum structure, which is inquirybased learning, designed for young adolescents. The goals of our program include: guiding students to become vibrant, self-sufficient, active learners; developing strong academic habits; articulating their growing personal and global awareness through varying modes of self-expression; and engaging in field experiences, including microeconomies, land-based study, and service to others. OPTION 14
Beyond The Third Period: Stimulating Higher Order Thinking Through The Arts / Classroom - Elementary Larry Schanker & Laurie Moreno
The benefits of learning through the use of both lower-order and higher-order thinking skills are many for all age groups. Lowerorder thinking is foundational; it includes basic knowledge ac-
WORKSHOPS
quisition, understanding of concepts, and application of skills. Higher-order thinking builds on lower-order learning to offer more complex reasoning activity. Varying the context of learning, it helps children retain information and understanding longer, apply knowledge to new situations, and enhance problem-solving skills.
The Montessori three-period lesson is a structure that at minimum guides basic lower-order foundational learning. As Montessori professionals, however, we naturally engage beyond the third-period level with students. Through opportunities in the arts, Montessori teachers may challenge students to engage critical thinking in situations that are out of their comfort zones and open their minds to new ideas and unexpected experiences, resulting in peaceful children who love to work. This presentation will help participants understand the sometimes baffling concept of higher-order thinking, assist in the process of creating HOT questions, and explore using the arts to accomplish this goal. OPTION 15
Maria Montessori revolutionized education in part by her insightful explanation of how both educational and practice life tools should be made available to students in a carefully prepared environment. So, as digital tools like computers and mobile devices increasingly permeate our students’ academic and practical lives, should we also be bringing these new tools into the prepared environment? And if so, how can we ensure that the integration of these materials is a peaceful one that stays true to the Montessori approach? Join us as we explore questions such as these and examine the possibilities for developmentally appropriate applications of digital technologies to support individualized, constructive, authentic, and globally-minded learning in the secondary Montessori environment.

concrete activities that deepen children’s awareness of their authentic nature of love and that of others. These activities help children recognize when they are being mindful and what they can do to recover when they are not mindful. OPTION 18
Perceptions & Parity – Montessori Education & Public Education: Is There Common Ground? (Pt 1) / Leadership Administrators Cindy Acker
This workshop will serve as part of a dissertation study which in-
WORKSHOPS
vestigates differing perceptions between Montessori education leaders and public school education leaders. UC Berkeley Doctoral Candidate, Cindy Acker is completing a design study, that analyzes differing perceptions between both groups, and whether the potential exists to adjust those perceptions. Leadership participants will use a pre-workshop survey tool to share their views. Using the results of a previous pilot study, she will provide information to, and facilitate discussion with Montessori leaders and public education leaders.
This discussion will culminate in a secondary survey to determine whether changes have occurred in perceptions between both groups. Individual information from surveys will be confidential perceptions between both groups. Individual information from surveys will be confidential.

From Love Lights To Black Elk & Beyond: Practical Ideas For Building A Peaceful Curriculum / Classroom - Infant/Toddler Elementary M Mia Mastrangelo
Maria Montessori stressed the importance of teaching children about peace but did not leave us with many materials or lessons. Many of us know about and utilize the Peace Rose and the Silence Game, but there are so many ways to help children
become more peaceful citizens of the universe. Even threeyear-olds can begin to understand that the choices they make affect not only their own self but also their community. Children, with guidance, easily learn that positive choices produce positive results.
In this workshop, you will learn practical lessons, songs, variations and extensions inspired by the work of Maria Montessori, Shin’ichi Suzuki, Sonnie McFarland, Shelley Murley, Sharon Duncan, and others. These Page 11
ideas are meant to help you begin or continue creating a more peace-filled environment that will encourage children to naturally grow to recognize the peace within themselves and their impact on the world around them. OPTION 20
Environmental Design For Infants & Toddlers / Classroom - Infant/Toddler Katherine Edlin
Maria Montessori identified the primary sensitive periods to be movement, language, orientation to the environment, and order for those children between birth and three years old. The design of the environment is crucial in facilitating the opportunity to grow in these areas. The prepared environment helps set the tone, provides expectations, establishes a sense of beauty and order, and fosters independence. Let’s explore this “hidden curriculum.”
OPTION 21
Peace Education: Teaching Conflict Resolution / Classroom - Elementary & Up Tanya L. Ryskind
Dr. Montessori made a plea for peace in her speech at the International Office of Education in Geneva in 1932. Since then, a Montessori education has become synonymous with Peace Education.
This workshop will share a retrospective of where we were in 1932, where we have been as Montessori educators, and where we need to be to secure a more peaceful world today. Additionally, this workshop will guide participants on how to use conflict-resolution techniques in the classroom on a daily basis. It will give participants language and activities that teach children how to disagree respectfully, solve problems, forgive, and reconcile differences.

In this workshop we will explore HOW:
- spiritual concepts are brought to concrete form through color and concrete applications - concepts are integrated across the curriculum
- concepts provide a common language for social/ emotional and character development

IMC Secondary Montessori Teacher Education / Leadership - Administrators Tim Seldin & Paul Epstein
The Montessori Foundation, in collaboration with the Center for Guided Montessori Studies, is developing the first IMC Secondary Montessori teacher education program (age 12 to 18), to begin in 2015. The new course will follow the IMC model of blended learning: two 3-week residential sessions; 18 months of distance learning; and a year of practicum teaching.
Grounded in the work of Dr. Montessori and decades of experience in Montessori middle and high school programs, the course will help adolescent Montessori guides to both understand how to design new programs, develop curriculum, facilitate inquiry-based, collaborative, and integrate experiential and project-based learning, differentiated instruction, and the develop-
ment of a strong, supportive community among students and guides. OPTION 26
Twelve Dimensions Of The Peaceful Classroom / All Levels Mary Ellen Maunz & Nancy McNab
A truly peaceful classroom does not just happen; we have to create the environment, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, to allow it to happen. There is a classroom ambience we would create that nourishes peace. In this session, developed over four years of discussions with American and

Russian teachers, we explore the twelve dimensions we need to consider to create this lovely ambience. OPTION 27
Nurture Spirituality In Young Children: Soul-Tending-Using Picture Books / Classroom Primary Lesley D. Roth
The spiritual growth of the child is an intimate and significant process, equally as important as other forms of development. Drawing on the research of Maria Montessori, as well as Erik Erikson, Howard Gardner, Robert Fowler and others, this workshop will focus on the
stages of spiritual development, explaining what they mean and how they can be nurtured at home and school through picture books and reading aloud. You’ll learn how to guide children’s discussions of spirituality, while remaining inclusive and nonsectarian.

Exploring Sensorial: A System Of Materialized Abstraction Page 13
(Casa Refresher) (Pt 1 of 3) / Classroom - Primary Kitty Bravo & Ruth Metka
This is the first of three sessions, which will provide a refresher for the Sensorial area in the Primary (3-6) classroom. The goal of the first session is to develop an appreciation for
the importance of the child’s work in the Sensorial Area.
We will explore how the Sensorial Area provides the child with a scientific guide for understanding their world while building the intellect and supporting the natural development of the mathematical mind. But don’t think this will be all theory and no fun. We will explore the abstract concepts related to Sensorial with a very hands-on sensory approach! Note: This is an all-day
workshop. Participants must register for all three sessions.

Similarities In Childhood Development / Leadership – All Levels Christine Sacerdote & Michael Murphy
This is an extension of last year’s presentation that examined the points that Montessori and public education have in common to their approach to early, middle, and high school education. However, there appears to be a growing number of people who can only see the “differences” in language and the appearance of old, worn-out methods used in older more traditional models of public education. Many of these models are changing.
This conference presentation will provide a deeper, comparative insight into the differences and similarities of language that both approaches use to describe student behavior. Underlying the approaches are not
WORKSHOPS
necessarily always variant views. However, it is certain that the frame and structure of the learning experiences for children are different in the Montessori approach and the traditional approach to the nature of young children’s needs, interests, and modes of learning. This is going to be an interactive session, so be ready to move around and discuss. OPTION 31
Marine Biology / Classroom – Elementary & Up Mark Richards
Montessori Ecological Marine Camp, located on St. Croix – an isolated island in the US Virgin Islands, is a hands-on ecological camp that ties into the Montessori Cosmic Education and philosophy along with the Great Lessons the children have been exposed to in the classrooms. The camp hosts children from 3rd grade through high school. The children have a chance to experience and study the island’s ecosystem and dive deeply into marine studies and classification with the help of our Marine Biologist, Nature Conservatory expert, and the U.S. Fish and Game Department. The workshop will discuss how to bring marine ecology into the classroom from primary through high school with a real concentration on the elementary programs. We will discuss marine classification, mapping the Page 14
ocean floor, and sea turtle rescue efforts.
OPTION 32
A Thousand Years Of Music History / Classroom - All Levels Dr. Larry Schanker
Join composer and Montessori Music specialist Dr. Larry Schanker on a whirlwind journey through music of the past thousand years. The goal is for participants to grasp the big picture of how classical music sounded, why it sounded that way, how it evolved through the Medieval, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Contemporary periods, and where we are today. In addition, folk, jazz, and world music influences will be discussed, as will the correlation between art and music of various eras.
Special emphasis will be given to the concept of exploring classical music with children in a way that makes it a part of their cosmic education, and while revered as such, completely within reach of their understanding and a source of peace in their lives. Participants will leave with an extensive list of musical terms and their definitions, as well as an annotated bibliography geared toward assisting Montessori teachers in obtaining information to supplement lessons across the curriculum.
OPTION 33
The Organizational Process Of Montessori Education Advocacy (Pt 1) / Delegates – All Attendees Cindy Acker with Tim Seldin
We are on our way, but how do we organize to effect change? This workshop series will cover the basics of legislation and advocacy as an overview, but we will not stop there. Proactive organization is tantamount to effective advocacy.
In this workshop, we will learn about and create an organizational structure, create effective strategies and potential partnerships and practice how to connect with legislators, formulate positions, and have a voice within the ‘committee to floor’ legislative process.
We will create the process in ‘real time’ and walk away with the action plan and monthly call in meetings. Find out where you fit in to make a difference. OPTION 34

Spiritually Prepared Leader / Leadership – All Levels Jack Rice
Prepared environments and spiritally prepared adults are the cornerstone of sound Montessori practice. We understand this model implicitly at the classroom level. Yet, is there another level of preparation required of us at the school, organization, or leadership level? How can we extend Dr. Montessori’s optimistic approach of humanity to what is required of us as leaders in our schools today? This workshop will help participants develop a model of leadership that they can apply to any setting. OPTION 36

Understanding The OBSERVATION C.O.R.E Process (Pt 1 of 2) / Leadership – All Levels Dr. Paul Epstein
We know that the Montessori Method is observation. This program provides a rigorous training using the C.O.R.E. process. We will observe video and develop questions with which to connect with children. In pursuit of your connecting questions, you will use one or more recording methods and obtain information. We will then reflect on the information and create new understandings. Based on your reflections, you might ask further questions, obtain more information, or engage children’s learning and development by implementing new practices, environments, and materials. Page 16
These elements form the basis of an observational literacy. Observation then becomes a dynamic and welcomed experience when we work together and discuss our observational practices and findings. Observational conversations will also assist us to further prepare ourselves as effective spiritual guides. After all, when we observe, we do not only learn about those we watch. As Montessori personally experienced, we learn from children. The observed teach the observer; the children are our teacher.
Please bring your curiosities, your copy of An Observer’s Notebook (available for sale at the MF Bookstore exhibit), paper, pens, or pencils! When we practice observational literacy, observation becomes much more than record keeping; it becomes a way of life!

The Cosmic Plan (Pt 1) / Classroom – Primary Andrew Kutt & Dr. Michael Dorer
Our relationship to the cosmos and all living things is central to all human spirituality and culture, and this relationship is at the core of Montessori’s Cosmic Education curriculum.
This interactive workshop will explore the elements of the Cosmic Curriculum, such as: all life has value; all things are connected; the cosmos is ever evolving; humanity can be a conscious collaborator with nature. Grounded in Montessori’s own words about the Cosmic Curriculum, we will explore how the fundamental concepts of the Cosmic Curriculum inform all the rest of the Montessori curriculum subjects at all student age levels. It provides a wide panorama for teachers of the Montessori lessons, activities and extensions that are possible in this area. The workshop will feature original songs, lyrics, and creative ideas, which bring the concepts of the Cosmic Curriculum to life in engaging and dynamic ways. Page 17
