The Society is pleased to announce Tom Brown, a Montessori elementary and adolescent guide with an M.Ed. in Montessori Education to discuss:
Anti-Bias & Anti-Racism (ABAR) in Montessori Settings
Online, Thursday 9th May 2024, 7.30 – 9pm.
Free talk for teachers, assistants, coaches and administrators.
More than ever, young children and their families need teachers who can help them navigate an increasingly diverse and changing world. Many of the principles and philosophies of Montessori Peace Education are already aligned with anti-bias and anti-racist (ABAR) principles and practices but is this enough? What can we do beyond just diversifying our bookshelves and celebrating different holidays? In this webinar, we will examine to what extent our Montessori practices align with ABAR best practices, and what you can do as an educator to deepen your commitment to anti-bias, anti-racist education.
Tom has worked in both public and private Montessori environments in the US and UK and is currently working as an educational consultant and writer under the name Marigold Education. He has supported the growth and development of several Montessori schools and organisations. You can read more of his writing here.
