FAQ

Tired of feeling overwhelmed and confused?

Keeping it together day after day can be exhausting.

We understand. We've been there.

Why isn't my class normalizing?

Why are the 3 year olds being so silly?

Why don't the 5 year olds choose more challenging work?

How do I get the children to listen to me?

How do I get them to choose independent work?

How do I help children who need constant attention?

Why am I so stressed at the end of the day?

If you have these questions, you are not alone.

We created this program because over the years in our work with Montessori professionals, we have heard variations of these questions over and over again.

"I think I'm doing everything they taught me in training but something seems to be missing."

We think the missing ingredient is experience, and that is what we hope to offer here. In p2p you can tap into the experience of Montessori professionals who have walked this path and figured out a few things. Learn the strategies, firmly rooted in Montessori principles, that have been tried and tested in the classroom environment.

We will dig in to the nuances of your classroom management questions. You will learn how an experienced Montessorian might tackle a particular scenario.

What steps should you take to begin analyzing what is going on?
What external factors might be at play here?
What adjustments might you make to the environment?
How might you change your own behavior?
What words might be effective here?
What kind of body language might you use?
Should you get the families involved?
And what long term goals should you keep in mind through the whole thing?

As we revisit basic Montessori principles and illustrate how they can be applied in different real classroom scenarios, you will leapfrog to new levels of understanding and begin to fill in the gaps in your application of the principles.

When you went through Montessori training, you received the tools you needed to be successful as a Montessori guide.
In p2p you will learn how to master the use of those tools.

Kelsey Barnes

Sometimes behavior management is glossed over in the Montessori world. Your expectation is that with time the children will normalize and adapt to the Montessori routine, but sometimes you can feel that children are unmotivated, bored, or are wanting to play and socialize instead of working individually. These practical everyday questions are fully answered in these webinars. Absolutely recommended!

Rachel Scheuermann

This is a convenient, and very informational way to get my training hours for work. I have taken notes each time, and been able to bring tools to my school and my co workers. I LOVE P2P!

P2P is filled with dense, practical information. The professional development guidance can help both the new teacher as well as the experienced ones. The presentations are kept under 30 minutes each, which makes them easy to view during a busy school year. The variety of presentations so far have been of outstanding quality. Thank you Tammy, Seemi and Virginia!

Kim Becket

I have been a Montessori Teacher for 20 years and this is the best set up of a teacher resource that I have seen. It is so packed full of wisdom and insight. Best part is you can go over any parts you need to. And all in the comfort of your own home at your convenience. Can't get better than this.

Kristina Brett

These are wonderful webinars for all, whether you are starting as a new guide or you have been one for years, there is always something to take away from these, and Seemi, Tammy and Virginia are great at touching on all avenues that can be taken to assist a student with whatever they may need. I truly appreciate them taking the time to help educate and share their own experiences.

Chaya Bergstein

These presenters are all excellent, down to earth, accepting, and delightful to learn from. I tend to get "uptight" when children slack off or don't accomplish what is planned for them but I see they have a more realistic and "chilled" approach.

P2P-PRIMARY: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long will I have access to the videos?
You will have continued access as long as you maintain your paid subscription. Videos and other content are not downloadable.

What if I can't watch the videos every month?
No problem! You can come back and watch the videos at your convenience as long as you remain a member.

Will you show us how to present Montessori materials?
No. We will not cover material presentations or discuss curriculum. We expect that members will already be familiar with how Montessori materials are used and presented.

Will I have direct access to the presenters if I have a specific question or need clarification?
No. However, you will be able to submit follow up questions which will go into the pool from which presenters will select their presentation topics.

Will the certificate count towards the AMS Continuing Education requirement?
While we do not guarantee that our certificates will be accepted by any particular agency, thousands of Montessori educators have received Trillium certificates over the past few years and we have not heard any feedback that the certificates were rejected. If you are counting on having the certificates approved, we recommend contacting your agency of choice before you sign up.

I am a homeschooler. Will this help me?
We will offer strategies based on the assumption that our members are in a Montessori classroom setting with multiple children. However, many of the principles we discuss can be applied to a home setting as well. Homeschoolers may need to adapt the advice for their own specific situations.

Jenny Irizarry

With so many tasks to juggle P2P is the perfect opportunity to get the support, ideas and continuing education needed to continue transforming our life to better serve our children.

Louise Wilson

I am loving every month's short videos about a variety of topics as a refresher or new learning

Teresa Perlebach

This course is well worth your time. We decided that our directors, primary leads, and assistants would all watch the course on our own, and then again together as a group. It has lead to wonderful discussions about things to implement into our classrooms!

Jacara Thompson

So helpful! Each video is full of things that will help you when you go back to your classroom the very next day.

Amy Webb

I have really enjoyed P2P. It covers so many areas that I struggle with or gives me confirmation in things that I am doing well. I have so many ideas to take back to my classroom to work on for myself as well as with my assistant. These topics that are covered are ones that we can all relate to.

Andrea Webber

These videos give practical advice that you can use everyday in your Montessori classroom. The tips or thoughts are so helpful and provide different ways to approach challenges we face everyday. I have rewatched several videos and then put the advice into practice immediately with fantastic results!
