Montessori materials are at the heart of what we do, and to outsiders they are the symbols of what we do, but we know there is so much more to what we do. This year’s Refresher Course, Beyond the Pink Tower, is meant to push us deeper and further into the Montessori experience. The theme invites us to take our routines and our training and our practice, and explore them from a different perspective - to remind ourselves of the theoretical and cultural importance of the work we do as Montessori educators and leaders.
