This course supports the content from “Positive Discipline In The Montessori Classroom” by Jane Nelsen & Chip DeLorenzo. It includes reflective writing and worksheet exercises to help students think through tricky situations. A copy of the book is included in the price.
“In 1981, Jane Nelsen wrote her first book, Positive Discipline. Since then, she has authored many more on the same theme, from Positive Discipline for Toddlers to Positive Discipline for Adolescents. Many years ago, Jane recognized the compatibility of Positive Discipline with the Montessori approach. Co-authored with Montessorian Chip DeLorenzo, this latest title is pertinent for all levels of Montessori and will be used in the workshops Jane and Chip give through the Positive Discipline training program. With an emphasis on creating and maintaining respectful relationships, Positive Discipline will provide support and guidance for Montessori teachers at every age level. Teachers will relate to the situations the authors describe and feel empowered by their responses as they learn the techniques and skills they offer. A must-have for every teacher.”
