Advanced Assistant Teacher Training
About the Course
This training is designed for educators who are ready to deepen their understanding of Montessori philosophy and are keen to take on a more active, intentional role in the classroom. Enrollment in this course requires prior completion of the Assistant Teacher Training.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
-
Demonstrate a deeper understanding of core Montessori principles by articulating at least three key philosophical concepts and explaining how they inform classroom decision-making.
-
Apply Montessori philosophy to real classroom scenarios by analyzing and responding to case studies and observation examples during the course and in the final written assignment.
-
Strengthen collaboration and professional dialogue by actively participating in group discussions across all online sessions and engaging with peers from other schools to share insights, challenges, and best practices.
