Level Up!
Helping Elementary Students Enhance the Quality of their Work
Letty Rising
In Montessori, we know that the process is more important than the product. However, can neglecting the product be a disservice to the child?
In this presentation we will look at:
▪️what it means to deliver quality work
▪️how we can share the concept of quality work with the children
▪️strategies for supporting children in improving the quality of their work in a developmentally appropriate way
▪️how to make quality and aesthetics a “point of interest” for the elementary child
▪️how to help them develop a sense of interest and excitement in taking their time on work as opposed to completing work in a rush.
This presentation was first published in the 2020 P2P Summit.
A certificate of completion for 60 minutes is provided. Learn more about certificates here.
This course explains the importance of high quality work, and of creating beautiful work, in a Montessori classroom. As a teacher I have struggled to create a classroom where careful, thoughtful work is the norm, rather than a "get it done" mentality. This course gave some great practical ideas for creating that classroom. -Kim Alton
This workshop was just what I needed! I feel motivated and prepared to introduce creating quality products with my students in a way that is process oriented and exciting. -Stephanie Liotti

I enjoy listening to and learning from Letty Rising so very much. Her manner is very approachable and I feel like I am listenIng to a friend when she is speaking. With all that I have to accomplish as a Lower Elementary teacher, Letty’s advice and ideas help me feel that it is doable. She provides the information in a way that isn’t too daunting and I feel as though I can be successful which in turns leads to my students being successful. -Debbie Pelissier
