Join us on Tuesday, September 15th, at 7:00 p.m. ET for an exciting webinar on “Beyond the Classroom: What Montessori Can Teach Us About Meaningful Work” with Dr. Katie Keller Wood!
Event Description:
Montessori education offers a remarkably hopeful vision of human work—one that extends far beyond the classroom. In this engaging presentation, USA Today bestselling author and Montessori educator Dr. Katie Keller Wood explores what Montessori’s philosophy can teach us about meaningful work, purpose, and human flourishing throughout adulthood. Drawing on Montessori’s writings, adult development research, and practical experience working with educators and leaders, Katie invites participants to reconsider common assumptions about work, success, and well-being. Together, we’ll explore how timeless Montessori principles can help us cultivate more meaningful careers, make wiser decisions about our commitments, and create lives in which our work contributes to—not competes with—our overall thriving.
