S3 Episode 4: Equity in Montessori

School choice is hot topic, especially in Arizona. Today, Mary and Donnie talk about students’ diverse needs and learning styles, and how that relates to equity. Mary reminds us that individuals don’t need to travel to an entirely different school to receive a different learning experience — teachers can customize learning environments to mold the students they serve. Today, the co-host duo chats with Yolanda Wheelington, a Montessori teacher from the Phoenix Elementary School District. The first- through third-grade educator talks differentiation, class restoration, social-emotional intelligence, and so much more. If you like what you hear, register on our website to attend the 2018 Teacher Leadership Institute which focuses on enhancing equity in our field.

Being an educator in the 21st century is indescribably complex. There’s a constant pressure to meet standards and help students achieve, but there’s also a need to allow learners to color outside the lines in an effort to prompt creativity. To support educators along the continuum, the Center developed “3Ps in a Pod” to further dissect practice, policy, and passion in the field of education.
