Trainer supervised practice

This is like a rare gem of AMI courses, a defining experience for students, a precious gift for the children of future educators. Students work with the materials in the classroom (a representative model for each level), experience repetition, concentration, discovering the logic of each presentation and its degree of difficulty. In this way, they master and love the technique of working with children, so that during the presentations their attention can be 100% on the child. The students also understand the level of involvement that the child gets during the work and learn how to protect them.

The students also practice games and grace and courtesy lessons in small groups, learning the joy of play and a jovial attitude towards the child.

The adult will adapt the pattern of presentation for each child, just as a tailor adapts the pattern of a coat to fit the customer. The clarity of the educator’s pattern becomes clarity in the child’s mind.
