"Reflection has become a key part of my work in the classroom. Taking the time to think about what I see and how I respond, has helped me to slow down and trust the process." - CRA TEP graduate

The beginning of a new school year is quickly approaching.
Teachers will soon be busy preparing the classrooms for the children to arrive, but who supports the preparation of the teachers?
Assistant teachers are vital in the Montessori classroom.
Our online Montessori assistant trainings are designed to enrich the practice of new and seasoned assistants.
Moving through the training over 3 months, as a cohort, builds connection and deeper understanding.
Engaging in 6 live Zoom lectures provides opportunities for collaboration and conversation.
Sign ups are still open to join our fall cohorts.
