Our Upper Elementary Faculty Shine – inside the classroom and in the community!
At Princeton Montessori School, our faculty members are developmental specialists for the ages they teach. All lead educators hold a Montessori teaching credential for their level and many hold advanced degrees. Sharing their expertise, through workshops or presenting at professional conferences, is a rewarding experience and a way to educate the community and promote our school.

Uniting with Montessori Principles for Holistic Education
This 45-minute intensive Deep Dive explored asset-based pedagogies, and innovative educational approaches that emphasize identifying and nurturing students’ strengths and assets rather than focusing on their deficits. They aim to create a positive, empowering learning environment that fosters holistic development. The session delved into three asset-based pedagogical frameworks, elucidated their goals, and demonstrated how they align with Montessori pedagogy. The session proposed potential areas for improvement within Montessori’s approach to further enrich the educational experience.
