Do you recognize this in your work with Montessori?

AI is everywhere. Does it have a place in Montessori?

  • You hear about AI constantly, but are unsure if it belongs in Montessori
  • You feel a tension between technology and Montessori principles
  • You want to stay relevant without compromising your values
  • You wonder how AI could actually support your work as a guide
  • You sense potential, but lack clarity on how to approach it

This workshop helps you find clarity, confidence, and a grounded approach to AI in Montessori.

What this workshop is really about:

This workshop is for Montessori guides, educators, and school leaders working with children aged 6 to 12.

We will explore how AI can be used as a tool to support the work of the guide, deepen understanding, and enhance preparation in the elementary environment.

Rather than focusing on technology itself, we focus on how to use it responsibly and in alignment with Montessori principles.

AI is not presented here as a tool for children, but as a support for the adult in preparing, researching, and guiding more effectively. You will leave with a clearer and more confident approach to AI in your daily work.
