In every Montessori classroom, engagement in meaningful just-right work is the goal. Creating the conditions for all students to engage supports their regulation, and ability to focus. Once they have accomplished that, the educator's next task is to ensure they are engaging in rigorous work at their level. Tools to support these include observation and planning. This session supports the whole school in recognizing the elements of both engagement and rigor, with guidance on how to use observation and planning to create strong practices in their classrooms.
