Course OverviewThe Orientation Course is formerly known as the Assistants’ Course. The course was renamed by the AMI to better reflect the overall purpose of the course. The Orientation Course is designed to provide participants with a functional understanding of the Montessori philosophy. It is well suited for any adult who is curious about Montessori education and the rationale that underpins the philosophy. Parents, caregivers and scholars of education/child development, along with adults who wish to be assistants in a Montessori classroom, are encouraged to take this course. All are welcome! |
