Writing from the Heart: The Writer’s Workshop Approach

to Teaching Authentic Narrative Writing

This two session webinar will introduce you to Writer’s Workshop for the elementary multi age Montessori classroom. Including not only theoretical ideas, but many practical suggestions and examples, you will come away with a solid understanding of the what’s, why’s, and how’s of this approach to developing a community of writers. We will discuss definitions, goals, tools, and look at examples of children’s writing and videos of Writer’s Workshop in action. While implementing Writer’s Workshop in the multi-age classroom is typically not addressed by the experts, it can be adapted, and (as we know) will actually benefit from the interactions between a wide range of writers. Motivated, invested and joyful writers will flourish in your classroom! 

Preparing Learners for Standardized Testing

Wednesday, February 17th at 7 PM EST

Facilitated by Angela MinihanStandardized testing is a requirement most public Montessori students are tasked with during their 3rd through 6th grade years and beyond. As Montessori teachers how do we prepare our students for test questions that may be unfamiliar, testing language and comprehension essay writing? Join me for exploring standardized test formats, key test vocabulary and strategies to build stamina and confidence for state tests. 

Angela Minahan is a Montessori coach at Pittsburgh Montessori in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  This is her 15th year with  the School District of Pittsburgh and she has served in many different roles.
