So without further ado, now let's get started with our training. Today's training is
4:04
what you have to know first when setting up your Montessori environment
4:10
All right What you need to know first I know that Montessori environments can be very intimidating You are not alone If you are feeling nervous or scared or not knowing what to do how are you supposed to know what you need what you don need and how to set it up Well
4:31
I am so glad that you asked because that is exactly what this training is about. If you have
4:38
been wondering how to move forward in setting up your Montessori environment but don't know how to
4:46
do it right, then come to this training today. All right. Now let's get started with the first
4:54
slide. Number one, you need to know that Montessori environments don't have to look a certain way
5:07
Let that sink in for a minute. Montessori environments don't have to look a certain
5:15
way. The truth is that you can browse all day and all night at the most amazing and beautiful
5:24
Montessori environments on Instagram or Pinterest, for example. This can have two effects on you
5:32
It can either inspire you and motivate you, which is a good thing, and get you started right away
5:40
but it can also deflate you and discourage you from wanting to do Montessori because you feel
5:49
that it will be impossible for you to replicate the setups that you are looking at. But here's
5:56
another truth. Montessori environments don't have to look a certain way. You make your environment
6:04
the way that will work for you and the children that you are working with
6:10
See, Maria Montessori said, Imagination does not become great until human beings
6:17
given the courage and strength, use it to create. So keep in mind that your Montessori setup doesn't have to look this way or that way
6:28
It must meet the needs of the children in your learning environment
6:34
If it doesn't, it can be the most beautiful place in the world, but it will do nothing for children
6:44
Think practical with freedom of choice. Think orderly with structure and order
6:52
Think useful and child-friendly. Think inspirational with freedom of movement. that right there I gave you so much to think about already and at the end of this training
7:08
I will give you the link to where you can see my notes and you can take a look at
7:15
these notes more closely and you can definitely turn around and get started today
7:24
number two you have to learn more about how to set up your Montessori environment you have to
7:36
learn more even if you think you know everything you really do have to learn more and look at it
7:44
from a different perspective you are the Montessori guide the teacher the mastermind behind the entire
7:52
Montessori classroom setup. The key to high quality Montessori learning is creating a space
8:00
at home or at school and is to know how to do it right. You have to know how to do it right
8:09
Whether you are doing Montessori at home or at school, you need to know more than knowing that
8:16
you need shelves and original Montessori materials. Maria Montessori said, our work is not to teach
8:28
but to help the absorbent mind in its work of development. How marvelous it would be if by our
8:36
help if by an intelligent treatment of a child if by understanding the needs of his physical life and by feeding his intellect we could prolong the period of functioning of the absorbent mind
8:54
So basically what she is saying is that we can prolong the period of functioning of the absorbent
9:03
mind and how do we do this well like i mentioned before you as the montessori teacher will put in
9:13
all of your effort and attention first on observing your children and i will show you
9:20
some resources on how to do that in the link i will give you at the end of the training
9:27
Next, you will determine their sensitive periods. And I teach more on that with a resource as well that I will link up in that resource I'll give you at the end of the training
9:42
And finally, you will work at creating a Montessori environment completely customized to serve the children in your class
9:51
so don't uh don't think that you know everything because you are still feeling lost you are still
10:01
here wanting the training that tells me that you are not necessarily knowing everything so
10:07
be open-minded be open-minded to see and hear other perspectives which brings me to
10:15
an invitation that I want to give you right now. So I will see you in a little bit. Watch this
10:21
and I will give you the third thing that you need to know first when setting up your Montessori
10:30
environment after this. Are you confused about how to set up your Montessori environment correctly
10:36
But why is it important to know how to in the first place? The truth is that it's more important
10:44
And then you think, because if your Montessori environment isn't set up right
10:49
the curiosity and passion for learning won't be there. That's right. But what can you do
10:56
How can you learn? Easy. Join the three steps to organize your Montessori environment show in our

13:14
Maria Montessori said, the environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity
13:21
and invite the child to conduct his own experiences. See, your goal is to make your environment Montessori friendly and affordable for you
13:35
The Montessori method isn't as hard and as expensive as you might think
13:40
Yes, it will require an investment, but it doesn't have to break the bank
13:45
Montessori educators that discover this, the fact that they can use the Montessori materials
13:52
