With a strong foundation in Montessori Philosophy, Practical Life, Language, and Sensorial, SAGE educators are now ready to take the next essential step—exploring Positive Discipline and Classroom Management.
Discipline in the Montessori environment is not about correction or control—it’s about connection, guidance, and modeling respectful behavior. This course equips educators with tools to respond to children’s emotional needs while maintaining harmony in a prepared classroom. Inspired by Jane Nelsen’s Positive Discipline approach, teachers learn to foster cooperation, problem-solving, and emotional resilience through mutual respect and clear boundaries.
Classroom management in Montessori goes beyond behavior—it supports the child’s sense of order, responsibility, and independence. With intentional routines like the uninterrupted work cycle and thoughtful use of space and materials, teachers guide children to make choices, collaborate, and grow with confidence.
Throughout this course, educators examine how to lead with empathy while nurturing a peaceful, productive community. By aligning Positive Discipline strategies with Montessori values, teachers are empowered to create learning environments where every child feels seen, supported, and inspired to thrive.
Because Montessori education isn’t just about what we teach—it’s about how we relate to each child and support them in becoming capable, kind, and confident members of their community.
