DIPLOMA IN INTERNATIONAL MONTESSORI TEACHERS’ TRAINING
A systematic and adaptable method of educating young children that aims the development of child’s own initiation and natural talents. It gives more emphasis to practical plays that children like most. This system was conceived and introduced by an Italian lady educator, Maria Montessori in the 19th century. Most of the Montessori schools are pre-school or elementary school in level but, there are some Montessori schools, which begin with infants and end at 12th grade. Montessori says, “I have studied the child. I have taken what the child has given me and expressed it and that is what is called the Montessori Method”.
Montessori discovered that structure was really important to help children feel safe and secure. She did a lot of experimentation to find out which, and how many, materials best suited the needs of the children. What she realised was that too much information was as bad as too little, and that children needed to be able to successfully build on their previous experiences. They could be overwhelmed with too many changing toys and options. So she carefully structured what was available. Montessori teachers, therefore, always watch the children to ensure that the right materials are available to support their individual interests and needs.
Montessori teachers tend to be people who really love being with children and who feel strongly about the importance of holistic approaches to learning. The philosophy often attracts more mature students, from very diverse backgrounds, who are disillusioned with conventional educational systems.
The training is comprehensive and includes: in-depth investigation of the Montessori philosophy and materials, exercises of practical life, education of the senses, literacy skills, mathematics, cultural subjects, art and craft, music and movement, drama, child development, observation and assessment, contemporary issues, childcare and health, safety, nutrition and special needs.
