The Wellan Institute Teacher Education Program (Wellan TEP) is an Early Childhood adult education program run by the Wellan Institute. The course is a 13-month adult education experience that runs from May of one year to June the following year. During that time, students take academic courses (5 weekdays in the summer and 4 weekends during the school year) and complete a 9-month practicum in a Montessori classroom.
