Program Description
This course will guide you to a deeper understanding of strategies for developing an effective teacher-assistant partnership that is grounded in Montessori philosophy and why this collaboration is so important. As you complete this six-hour self-guided class, you will define the roles of Teachers and Assistants for your Montessori environment, explore practical tools that support the creation of your own collaborative environment, and identify ways to prioritize equity and inclusion in this partnership.
This class will take approximately six hours to complete with no homework assignments. Each of the six lessons/modules in this dynamic multimedia course includes a short introduction, engaging content including videos, podcasts, readings and resources, a game or activity related to the content, and a required discussion post. Each lesson/module is estimated to take approximately one hour to complete. You will have 180 days (approx. six months) from the date of purchase to complete the class and download the certificate that grants eight hours of professional development.
