Canadian Montessori
Academy Teacher Education Program in association with Montessori
Teachers’ College of Sacramento, California, are pleased to
offer Montessori Infant/Toddler training in Canada.
Founded in 1980, the
Canadian Montessori Academy (CMA) is an independent private
school affiliated with AMS, listed with the Ministry of
Education of Ontario and governed by the Ontario Education Act.
Since 1994 we have offered Montessori Teacher Education
Programs.
Now for the first
time in Canada we are offering an Infant/Toddler Teacher
Education Program taught by Montessori Teachers College (MTC)
and National Center for Montessori Education (NCME).
The CMA
Infant/Toddler Teacher Education Program takes place at our
70 Fieldrow Street Campus in Ottawa, the
federal capital of Canada. All of the cultural and educational
resources of the Nation’s capital are just a short drive away.
To fully appreciate
a career in Montessori education, we strongly recommend that you
schedule a visit to a Montessori school. In fact, you may want
to make visits to several Montessori schools in your area to see
Montessori at work. Be sure to closely watch the children. Share
your questions and interests with us.
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.
• Our Course
Instructors, some with more than twenty years of teaching
experience, offer a rich background from owning schools to
holding doctoral research degrees.
• Based on 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.
• We believe 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.
• Mastery requires
practice and repetition. Using curriculum handbooks, you will
engage with instructors in learning how to work with children
using the Montessori materials.
• To develop
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.
• Our purpose 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.
• We take
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
education theory and classroom practice.
