In an earlier blog (The Importance of Educating the Montessori Parent, January 13, 2008), I wrote that “Educating parents, both current and future, about Montessori education is a win-win situation”. There is so much more to Parent Education than orientation and back-to-school nights, and this as well as future blogs are being written to provide Montessori teachers and administrators some shared ideas and guidance for communicating and working with parents.
There are basically six modes of parent education:
- Introductory
- Orientation
- Community Building
- Volunteering
- Conferences
- Parent Education Sessions
Take an in-depth look at how you can work within each of these modes to strengthen your Montessori community and communicate more effectively with parents at your school.
