WHAT MAKES THE CANADIAN MONTESSORI ACADEMY’S
TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM SPECIAL?
- We define
Montessori Teacher Education as a transformative experience.
Learning to view and understand children in new ways involves
providing you with coaching and mentoring support during a
challenging learning experience.

Instructors, some with more than twenty years of teaching
experience, offer a rich background from owning schools to
holding doctoral research degree

adult learning research, our courses of study will challenge
you to reconsider your role as a teacher and learner.
- We believe
that learning involves empowered partners. We each learn in
relationship to others. We look forward to engaging in
inquiry and dialogue with you. We encourage you to share your
insights and experiences.

that learning is an active process. Our courses of study
follow a logical progression of concepts and skills learned
through a hands-on discovery and collaborative set of
approaches.

requires practice and repetition. Using curriculum handbooks,
you will engage with instructors in learning how to work with
children using the Montessori materials.

excellent teaching practices, we seek to help you master
habits of mind: curiosity, creativity, independent thought,
clarity, incisiveness of thought, tolerance for ambiguity,
problem solving, time and resource management.

workshops during the practicum period to help you with
specific challenges that may be encountered in your classrooms.

is to prepare you to become a Montessori Teacher who can
observe children closely and, on this basis, prepare learning
environments, use materials with precision and care, identify
and respond to children’s learning styles and their emotional
and social needs.

seriously Montessori’s vision of a science of education. We
encourage you to keep up-to-date on contemporary research.
Using reflective methods, we invite your continual
re-examination of educational theory and classroom practice.
