(FREE) Montessori Colloquium: Using Storytelling to Support Community and Belonging with Justin Tosco!
Join us on Tuesday, February 17th, at 7:00 p.m. ET for an exciting webinar on Using Storytelling to Support Community and Belonging with Justin Tosco!
Event Description:
Montessori philosophy asks us to prepare environments that honor dignity, voice, and growth – yet this work is often centered solely on children. This session reframes adult storytelling as a restorative practice that supports belonging and equity by creating space for reflection, learning, and connection. Participants will leave with concrete structures and tools for using storytelling to strengthen adult community and align school culture with core Montessori values.
