    The Montessori Assistant with Kate & Terry Millie

    -What is a Montessori assistant -- what is his/her role? -What happens when an assistant disagrees with a head teacher or guide -- and what happens when real conflict arises between them? -Should assistants speak with parents, or is that solely the job of the head Montessori teacher or administrators?

    These and other big questions about assistants in the Montessori classroom are asked and answered in this super practical yet also deep discussion about the job of an assistant.

    Episode is especially for teachers and administrators (and curious parents) of children from birth through elementary.

    Our guest today, the ed-tech entrepreneur William Kelly, thinks there can be, if an individual chooses such a career path for his or her life.
