2024 Reconnect Series

SMTC is excited present The Reconnect Workshop Series for 2024 with four live online workshops, one in each of the 0-3, 3-6, 6-12 and 12-18 age-levels, with inspiring AMI Trainers from around the world.

The 3 hour workshops are designed to support educators to reconnect with important aspects of their practice, which we know are often challenging, in order to shine light on how Montessori guides can best aid those in their care though each stage of development.  

Theory into Practice Series (TiPS)

TiPS is a skills based, development series facilitated by SMTC’s AMI trainers and trainers-in-training to support educators.

• Are you looking for some practical tips to help you in your day-to-day interactions with children?
• Would you like to consider how aspects of Montessori apply in a practical context such as in your school, classroom or in other interactions with children?

Come along to our 1-hour online sessions run on the first Monday of each month from February to November, with an additional 30-minute Q&A, for extra support on how you can turn Montessori theory into practice.

EYLF Integration Course: Aligning Authentic Montessori Practice with the EYLF

This new EYLF Integration Course, led by AMI 3-6 Trainer Amy Kirkham and conducted online via Zoom, aims to empower educators and leaders in early childhood settings to integrate authentic Montessori methods with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) standards.

This course addresses challenges such as misconceptions about Montessori practices conflicting with EYLF requirements and provides strategies for confidently aligning authentic Montessori practice and the EYLF.

Scheduled live online via zoom for two Monday evenings each term throughout 2024, starting on 19th February, the course enables you to better understand, explain and document how authentic Montessori practice meets and exceeds the requirements of the EYLF and to lift the authentic Montessori practice at your school or centre.

Montessori at Home (an AMI workshop for parents and carers)

A 9 hour Association Montessori International (AMI) workshop designed specifically for parents and carers.

AMI Trainer, Heidi Philippart, considers how parents and carers can foster a home environment that supports the natural development of the child from the ages 0 to 3 and supports the child to reach their full potential.  

3 sessions were delivered live online via zoom on 6, 20 and 27 January 2024 from 4pm to 7pm (AEDT) and we are working on dates for 2025.
