Parent Education Event: What Does it Mean to be an Adolescent Montessori Parent?

This presentation will discuss the meaning of “freedom with limits” at home and serve as a guide to help parents raise Montessori adolescents (ages 12-18) at home. Parents will leave feeling capable of empowering their adolescent to use the skills that are implemented in the Montessori classroom to thrive in various aspects of their personal and professional lives while understanding that even though “grades” start to enter the picture in the Upper School, the focus is still on the holistic development of the adolescent, and recognizing that each adolescent is a unique individual with distinctive strengths, needs, and potential.

Laurie Ewert-Krocker has been a presenter and Course Director for the AMI-NAMTA Orientation to Adolescent Studies and has consulted with Montessori adolescent programs around the world for 15 years. 

She holds AMI diplomas at the 3-6 and 6-12 levels. Laurie was the founding head teacher of Hershey Montessori School’s Adolescent Community in 1996 and served as both Middle School Program Director and Upper School Program Director at Hershey where she worked for 28 years.

Laurie is now the Director of Training at the International Montessori Training Institute and frequently travels around the world to various Montessori Adolescent Programs and events as a speaker and consultant.
