Few guidelines to our wonderful resident teachers

After hours of attending several in house on the job Montessori trainings and practicing, our teacher trainers are ready to begin working at their assigned classrooms. The teacher trainers are full of enthusiasm and eagerly anticipating to apply all they have learned. Despite the preparation, the beginning of a school year can be challenging and things may not go as planned and we may sometimes feel somehow discouraged and uninspired. However, today we are happy to share few guidelines with all our wonderful resident teachers at all our Montessori converted classrooms who are engaged with the children’s education start.

·         Ensure the environment is well prepared to meet the children needs. Have self-awareness and role model the positive behavior and discipline that you want the students and colleagues to copy from you. Act as a resource person.

·         Remain calm, patient, relaxed and enjoy each particular moment with the children or colleagues and remember always to put on a “Happy Smilling Face”!.

·         Be flexible, ask for help/questions and be open to learn, to improve, grow and progress.

·         Prepare the lessons beforehand and provide enough work to inspire the children in the classroom. Make sure to observe children’s needs and adjust the activities based on the level of energy & interests

·         Sometimes, in the first school days, the prepared environment may not be engaging enough to some children, therefore do not be discouraged, instead take the children out door for a walk to refresh, observe and learn from the nature.

Besides, we are all delighted to be instrumental in bringing the Montessori method to migrant, hill tribe children and community at large. 

In addition, today we would like to take this opportunity to introduce you the key figures in KLDF Montessori and Uplift projects team members who positively contribute to the success of children and community developments.
