You will want this free resource whether you are a Montessori teacher in a school or at home, or if you are just interested in the Montessori Method in general.
Just a few times a year, I host this awesome training!
It is a well-organized training session.
I don’t like to waste my time and I don’t like to waste your time, so I thought long and hard to give you the foundational things that you need to get started or to give you a great refresher.
During this free 5-day workshop, we focus on 5 foundational topics that revolve around 3 very important results that together, will give you an incredible tangible transformation.
These 3 very important results are for you to:
- Become a centered, organized Montessori Guide
- Nurture happy, normalized children
- Create smooth, successful Montessori days
Let’s talk about the five foundational topics that will be covered in the workshop and why you should sign up for it.
Day 1: The 4 Pillars of The Montessori Philosophy
What
If you are following or are interested in following the Montessori educational approach, you will want to be familiar with these four pillars.
They will open your eyes and will also keep these in the forefront as you teach the little ones.
Why
It will provide you with opportunities to develop some fantastic teaching ideas and skills in a multi-age classroom setting….
“The child has a different relation to his environment from ours… the child absorbs it. The things he sees are not just remembered; they form part of his soul. He incarnates in himself all in the world about him that his eyes see and his ears hear.”
~Maria Montessori
Day 2: The Prepared Environment
What
In this Montessori theory training, we will be discussing how to set up your Montessori classroom or Montessori environment.
Why
Because it is critical to understand how to set up a Montessori learning environment so that children can have freedom within limits while still learning.
Day 3: Behaviors of Normalized Children
What
You will learn how to determine the most effective method of teaching students.
You will gain an understanding of what it means to be normalized in the different Montessori activities.
You will also receive a list of some of the tell-tale signs that children are or are not normalized, as well as information on how to recognize these signs.
Why
It is important for you to teach children how to problem solve correctly.
You will also learn why Practical Life is the subject that will shortcut the child’s path to normalization.
“Free the child’s potential and you will transform him into the world.”
~Maria Montessori
Day 4: Your Job as the Montessori Guide
What
The Montessori teacher is also called the Montessori Guide.
It will expand Your Montessori teacher education by leaps and bounds!
We will talk about the different types of Montessori Guides there are and determine which one you resemble most.
It will be kind of like a quiz! How fun!
Why
It is important for you to know what your education philosophy is within the Montessori sphere to gain better understanding of your goals.
“If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man’s future.”
Dr. Maria Montessori
Day 5: Your Next Step for Success
What
As you complete this training, we will discuss some of the most important things that you can do next.
Why
If you are new to the Montessori approach, you will then make a decision on moving forward.
And if you are seasoned in the method, you will gain a fresh view on Montessori materials, lesson and more as you determine what your next steps are.
Regardless, you have all of the potential to be successful.
