In this episode of Brighter Together, I sit down with Jennifer Sessa, the Director of Student Services at Island Village Montessori School in Venice, Florida. Jennifer shares her insights on why top special education directors are moving away from traditional paperwork to better support teachers and students. We explore the challenges educators face in balancing compliance with the need for meaningful interaction with students. Jennifer also discusses the unique advantages of a Montessori approach in special education, emphasizing the importance of a child-centered philosophy and the role of multi-age classrooms. Join us for an inspiring conversation about nurturing students with special needs and the transformative power of education.
