The Elementary Journal
April 17 2014, 6:30pm-8:30pm
Elementary Workshop

Presented by Elise Huneke-Stone, AMI Director of Elementary Training, Oregon Registry Master Trainer

For Elementary Teachers

The elementary learning journal (or diary, or record book) is one of the three "Tools of Responsibility" introduced on AMI elementary teacher trainings.  Each elementary child is expected to keep a record of his or her work.  But the learning journal, thoughtfully implemented, is much more than a branch of record keeping.  Join Elise Huneke-Stone to find out how to turn this Montessori tradition into a lively, integrated part of every child's elementary experience.  This workshop is designed for elementary trained teachers, and draws on both academic research and Elise's classroom experience.

*This is an Oregon Registry program.  Participants will receive a 2 hour certificate.
