Building Leadership Skills Through Class Meetings with Chip DeLorenzo
Chip DeLorenzo joins the Voices in Montessori podcast to discuss the importance of holding regular class meetings as a tool to build students’ leadership skills. He advocates that class meetings are essential to developing a sense of community and belonging for the students in your classroom.
Chip describes the structure and processes involved in successful class meetings. He also shares how to teach the components of the class meetings in isolation at the beginning of each school year, so that the students have the skills to run them, and how to support students during meetings if needed (without taking over).
Through the class meeting process, children learn empathy and to see things from other people’s perspectives. They practice advocating for themselves and others, problem solving, collaborating with others, and making amends. Class meetings encompass Grace and Courtesy, SEL education, conflict resolution, and peace education all in one elegant bundle.
When we trust children to solve their own problems, students are invested in the solutions and help remind one another of the class’ shared agreements. This becomes shared leadership!
