The course has been designed to provide students with a sound knowledge
of the Montessori Method of Education, both in theory and practice, as well as
providing up-to-date research on child development and education.
The methods of evaluating these outcomes and assessing the student's
performance include a combination of the following:
- Self-assessment individually or through study groups where possible.
- Personal tutorial support online or by ordinary post .
- Course work which includes writing essays, observations and the preparation
of files.
- A written examination.
- A viva examination during which students demonstrate selected pieces of
Montessori apparatus.
A well defined evaluation system has been prepared for markers stating
clearly the criteria to be met.
The Teaching Practice is assessed separately. Supervising Teachers are assigned to each student and their objectives is to
support the students, make realistic assessments according to a
set of criteria and give the student feedback so that the process of learning
to become a Montessori teacher is continuous.
