Information and support for accessing resources and re-searching literature already available will be provided. Learn about upcoming opportunities on how you (and the adolescents with whom you work) can continue this work via summer workshops AND present your findings October 2023 at MAPS (Montessori Adolescent Practitioners Symposium)!
