Description: THIS SESSION IS FOR EMPLOYEES OF A MONTESSORI SCHOOL OR DISTRICT INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF SUPPORTING THOSE SCHOOLS ONLY Socratic seminars are an integral part of any secondary Montessori classroom- science, math, humanities, elective courses, or just general classroom spaces- but aspects can be introduced into the upper El setting as well. Seminars encourage discussion amongst students and deeper thinking on a topic and can look a variety of ways- you can have a seminar after reading a shared text, a poem, music or video, or even a picture! We will also share about what a silent seminar is and how you might incorporate it into your class. You will participate in a silent seminar, a Socratic seminar, and have time to plan and write your own seminar piece for your own classroom during this session.
