Description
This course has been used in over 800 Montessori schools to train assistants.
Every Montessori teacher needs a trained assistant to manage her classroom. However, to be a successful assistant, you need to have a good understanding of Montessori philosophy. Montessori classrooms are beautiful, with well-maintained materials. A good assistant ensures that the classroom is always beautiful.
A Montessori assistant has many responsibilities including Keeping the classroom neat and well-supplied, monitoring the classroom noise level, taking care of individual student needs, managing classroom conflicts, greeting students and parents as the day begins, helping students to prepare to go home at the end of the day, and ensuring safety on the playground.
In this program, you will learn how to achieve all these objectives as well as gain a general understanding of Montessori philosophy and how a Montessori class functions.
