A Teacher's Perspective
From Our Team
Our work as teacher educators is ever evolving as we seek to improve our practices through ongoing study and reflection on complex Montessori subject matter. The story we tell about the connections between Montessori materials and their role in unlocking a child’s sense of discovery, imagination, and innovation helps adults understand them as trusted tools. The true gift of our work is bridging the adult relationship to the child—inspiring the adult learner to see the child as “magnificence waiting to happen.” It is our pleasure at AMS to support you in this work. Please do not hesitate to contact me regarding your work as a teacher educator.
