Regional Practitioners Workshops
2-3 Days at your location
Schools with Montessori Adolescent Programs are invited to host a regional 2-3 day workshop guided by an AMI Trainer. Workshop sessions would be conducted by the trainer and other adolescent practitioners to share implementation strategies in organizing adolescent communities, developing staff collaboration, offering plans of study and work, supporting classroom management, and working with parents. The sessions offer a way to deepen high-quality implementation strategies for all trained adolescent practitioners.
The Host Site arranges all the logistics of the workshop (such as physical set up and on-site needs, food and housing options, etc.)
The IMTI Training organization will arrange the staffing needed to run the workshops and will coordinate communications about the event.
The focus of these workshops can be planned around the needs of local schools and teams. It will not only provide the opportunity for an AMI Trainer to visit your site, but will also provide a nice amount of exposure for your school.
