Why a Blog?

There are so many roles and tasks we have to juggle every day as teachers... when what we really want to do is get on with the business of working with kids!

I recently began formally putting together a number of systems I have developed over the years to help me streamline all those classroom administrative tasks. You can see some of my favorites at my store. I am hoping to use this blog to hash out the details of the rest of my ideas and make them "look pretty" so that others can use them too.

I would also love to get feedback from other Montessori teachers about things that have worked for them and things that they're having trouble managing and would like help with.


About Me
I am a trained AMS Early Childhood Montessori teacher. I have been teaching at the primary level for ten years. This year I am working full-time as the primary level coordinator at our school... hence the focused interest in creating a prepared environment for teachers! (More on that in a future post). I also have a Bachelor's degree in Neurobiology and Behavior and a Master's degree in Education.

I have had the privilege of working with Jon Wolff a few times when he has consulted for schools around the country. Come and check us out at the Learning for Life table at the AMS Conference in Washington DC March 6-9!
