Montessori Primary Teaching
This is an exciting programme designed to foster the knowledge, skills and dispositions that professionals need to be effective primary and intermediate teachers in Montessori settings.
Montessori education is based on theories of child development originated by Italian educator Maria Montessori in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
It highlights the importance of adapting the child’s learning environment to his or her developmental level, and the role of physical activity in absorbing academic concepts and practical skills. Montessori education views children as being capable of self-directed learning and takes a hands-on approach to learning.
