Description: THIS SESSION IS FOR EMPLOYEES OF A MONTESSORI SCHOOL OR DISTRICT INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF SUPPORTING THOSE SCHOOLS ONLY This session is designed for any staff working in or supporting a Montessori school in an instructional role. Mindfulness is becoming an essential practice in education, helping children develop emotional resilience, focus, and self-awareness. Integrating mindfulness is a natural fit in a Montessori environment, where independence and self-regulation are key.
