It is not a coincidence that many of the mavericks on the leading edge of innovation and creativity in the world are Montessori graduates. To the millions of Montessori students, families and supporters around the world, the answer is obvious. Montessori offers an education for life and with that comes the skills needed to succeed in our ever changing global society.
Introducing the Montessori Approach for Parents and Educators is a course that addresses the Montessori Method of education as an approach to education which emphasizes individuality and independence in learning. This Method of education, developed by Dr Maria Montessori, is a child-centered educational approach based on scientific observations of children from birth to adulthood. Children are seen as inherently curious and learning driven. Thus, education is viewed as a process which should occur in harmony with the child’s individual developmental pace. It is a holistic approach, emphasizing all aspects of development (physical, intellectual, language, emotional and social).
This course will greatly expose you to what the Montessori Method of education is all about; prominent Montessori Mavericks, hands-on activities from the five curricular areas as well, and some frequently asked Montessori questions.
This course is highly recommended for teachers and all education professionals who teach young children.
