(FREE) Montessori Colloquium: Courageous Conversation With Cassi Mackey
2024-03-19 19:00 - 20:30
Join Sarasota University and Cassi Mackey on March 19th at 7PM ET for an insightful webinar on Courages Conversations. When you think of Courageous Conversation, think connection, understanding, integrity, authenticity, empathy, and curiosity. Think school transformation.
When school communities embrace and practice Courageous Conversations it enhances the faculty and staff’s capacity to serve as effective agents of success, it provides structure for the highest level of collaboration, alignment, and partnership within the school community, and it helps with sustainable change. It allows us to live up to our highest potential as Montessori practitioners.
We invite Montessori schools to create a culture that engages in Courageous Conversation as a community practice, creating a community that actively brings issues to the surface challenges and celebrates the thinking and logic of differing points of view, thereby managing problems and discussing concerns that may otherwise go unaddressed and unresolved. Effects can range from minimizing gossip and venting to the building of trust in and consistency of a community’s handling of difficult issues.
And since we cannot teach what we do not practice, teachers’ understanding of and willingness to engage in Courageous Conversation is imperative to help ourselves, our families, and our students develop intrapersonal and interpersonal skills. Courageous Conversations are important in both the school, classroom community, and in homes.
