As Montessorians, we’re not necessarily known for our humor in the classroom. The focus is, understandably, more on the learning environment. We don’t want to come across as being too silly or lose control of our learning environments. But what if a sense of playfulness could actually help enhance our learning?

In today’s episode, I’m talking to Lisa Thauvette, former head of International Montessori school, and a speaker, trainer, and educator. Lisa shares why we should bring joy and levity into Montessori education, how it’s linked to student learning, how to incorporate play in the classroom, and how joy can be felt among the adults in the community as well.

Creating a culture of levity in our schools can build trust and bonding with your students. Remember that it’s okay to play and laugh together.What’s in this episode:

Lisa explains the concept of bringing joy and levity into Montessori education, and how it’s linked to student learning

How play can be incorporated into the elementary school environment to enhance their learning experience

How to maintain a sense of joy and resilience among adults in the community, especially during challenging times

Lisa shares how she’s successfully merged her personal passion for improv with her professional life as a Montessori educator
