I don't really have any advice, except to use trusty Google, but I have some thoughts. Behavior has been a challenge for me, but as my class has had more experience with the change in learning they are getting better at it. After talking to my friend who just started at the Montessori, she said that her middle school students are generally well behaved because they were brought up in Montessori and so had the expectation throughout their education. For those of us in public schools that isn't the case. We have to set clear expectations, model it, model it some more, practice it, and then keep practicing it. Let the kids know what you expect, and explain to them how this is a different way to learn, and that it should be helpful (and fun) for them. And if you do find a strategy that works really well, please let me know!Ms. Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18339003685505654105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198735032606369796.post-5750342577438013122012-11-07T15:36:12.780-07:002012-11-07T15:36:12.780-07:00My principal just suggested a more "Montessor...My principal just suggested a more "Montessori" look in my public school, 3rd grade classroom. I have no experience with this type of teaching other than the one chapter on Maria Montessori from a college textbook. My kids are having a very difficult time with behavior (staying in their seats, listening, participating, etc). Any ideas?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15046896523369517819noreply@blogger.com
