Question: <\/b>I have become very interested<\/span> in the Montessori method of education and would like to study for an AMI diploma. Can I do this by a \u201cdistance learning programme\u201d?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer: <\/b>The Montessori approach offers a broad vision of education as an aid to life. It is designed to help children with their task of inner construction as they grow from childhood to maturity. It succeeds because it draws its principles from the natural development of the child. Its flexibility provides a matrix within which each individual child\u2019s inner directives freely guide the child toward wholesome growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The preparation of the adult about to undertake work with young children demands a high degree of self-discipline and commitment and a professional attitude. This preparation can only be achieved through immersion in the Montessori theory under the supervision of experienced lectures. Furthermore, the special materials to be used with the children in a Montessori class require individual training and supervised practice \u2013 as each piece of apparatus has a function in the total scheme of the Montessori Prepared Environment. These fundamental aspects cannot be covered in sufficient depth by distance learning.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Courses leading to the AMI diploma are run by AMI-accredited training centers throughout the world. These courses are intentionally recognized for their high standard and authenticity. Montessori training is a process of re-orientation where students begin to discover for themselves the profound truths underlying the Montessori approach. Courses are full-time and are offered over an academic year or several summers. The course programme included lectures, seminars and demonstrations on Montessori philosophy, child development and the Montessori materials. Each course also includes significant components of observation, supervised practice with the materials, material making and teaching practice. Students prepare an album which details the purpose, use and presentation of each piece of material. In the words of Dr. Montessori the teacher \u201cmust give her lesson, plant the seed and then disappear; observing and waiting\u201d (The Call of Education, vol. II, no. IV, December, 1925). This apparently simple proverb continues to be a piece of worthwhile advice and a source of inspiration. It is at the core of the role of the Montessori teacher.<\/span><\/p>\n
