Planning and recordkeeping is essential for Montessori educators. It provides alignment for your classrooms and allows you to articulate to parents what their children are learning. Meanwhile, it still allows educators the freedom and adaptability to explore their students’ interests more in depth.

In today’s episode, I’m talking to Elizabeth Slade of Public Montessori in Action, which aims to ensure fully-implemented Montessori education for children, families, and educators of the global majority. Elizabeth has created a Montessori Planning and Recordkeeping Guide and we discuss how it’s been beneficial for the schools that have piloted it, how it creates structure in the classroom, and how it can address equity in the learning environment. 

If your school doesn’t already have a planning and recordkeeping system in place, there are tools out there to help you simplify the process, and this is your reminder to get started. 

What’s in this episode:

How the Montessori Planning and Recordkeeping (MPR) Guide that Elizabeth created simplifies those tasks for educators

How educators in the public Montessori schools that Elizabeth has worked with have piloted the guide and found it beneficial

Why recordkeeping tools can create alignment and structure in the classroom
