There are two
aspects to the preparation that an adult must undergo to become a
Montessori teacher. The first is a transformation in order to serve the spirit of the child without judgment. The
second is practical, in which the adult must acquire
knowledge of the Montessori materials, the ability to manage and
maintain the classroom environment, and an overall presence of grace,
courtesy and patience. It is the objective of this training
course to prepare adults for the task of helping children develop the
fullness of their individual potential. The student is taught to
establish patterns of study, habits of observation, and experimentation
useful in the pursuit of this ultimate aim.

-
