Prepared Montessorian

We know we’ve been quiet in social media. We’ve been doubling down on supporting our learners and we are proud to announce that we are graduating 97 learners today! That’s 97 more certified Montessori teachers in the world! Congratulations you all!!

"PMI offers the only Montessori teacher-training program designed to combine theory and practice from day one. Like a medical in-residency or engineering co-op, PMI and Guidepost partner to offer guides-in-training the opportunity to study the fundamentals of Montessori while immediately applying them in the classroom with the support of their colleagues and mentors."

We believe we are offering the best in class Montessori certification training in this modern day. Read more about our partnership with Guidepost in their latest blog post: https://www.guidepostmontessori.com/blog/how-prepared-montessorian-institute-prepares-guides-for-the-classroom-from-day-one

Today marks the birthday of Maria Montessori, a visionary educator whose legacy has left an unfading mark. Her belief in fostering a child's innate curiosity and independence is a flame that inspires us. Let's remember the power of igniting that spark within each child.

Here's the whole crew in Austin as we embarked on our second post-pandemic in-person in-residency for our Adolescent Montessori Teacher Certification! It's been an amazing week of collaboration, idea sharing and camaraderie.

Interest. Agency. Accountability. Ingredients to inspire self-direct, productive work. Working effectively is a skill that Montessori educators don’t just expect, they provide opportunities for children to practice, grow, and develop!

Our prepared environment for our first week of PMI elementary summer training! These folks were with us online last summer. What a delight it has been to prepare a tangible environment for them…one that they can touch, handle, and explore. ❤️ Captioned by one of our instructors, Letty Rising.

Sometimes it's hard to get into a Montessori classroom to complete the observation requirement for our certification. Perhaps you don't live close to a school or there isn't an authentic program near you. Here is a snapshot from a learner of watching a recording of a Children's House classroom! That's right, we have recordings of normalized classrooms so you can see Montessori in action!

What's a community workshop? It's both an orientation before you start our Foundational Seminars for the NIdo & Toddler and Children's House and an ongoing requirement (15 hours) to support you with your independent work. Meet live with an instructor, get feedback about lesson practice, problem-solve about classroom management and much more!
