Fundamentals of Montessori Teaching

Globally, Montessori teachers are in high demand, with vacancies in many countries remaining open due to a shortage of trained professionals. This free online course is your first substantial step toward becoming a Montessori teacher, designed to spark your interest in the method in a short span of time by focusing on Montessori principles and the observations of Maria Montessori, the pioneer of Montessori teaching.

Within a Montessori-empowered environment, children enjoy self-construction and gain the freedom to learn on their own within a thoughtfully structured setting. This course highlights the fundamental areas of Montessori teaching without diving into the details of every activity or exercise. Instead, it gives you a clear overview of the approach as a whole — an awareness course for professionals exploring a career in Montessori teaching.

You will explore the fundamental learning behaviours of children, study the background of Maria Montessori, and review other early childhood education approaches within their historical context. Becoming a Montessori teacher calls for creativity, intelligence, and compassion, as you commit to enhancing the lives of the children in your care.

The course comes with study reminders and transferable notes you can take throughout. It is ideal for anyone pursuing a Montessori teaching career, and equally useful for parents looking to recreate a Montessori-style environment at home. Enrolling will expand your knowledge and practical understanding of the Montessori method.
