Thoughts and Feedback About the Course
"There is so much value in the Montessori Movement course. I found myself rewatching sections to gather even more information and have a notebook full of notes.
I have provided PE & Outdoor Education as well as assisting in a classroom for over 10 years and have learned so much from the amazing AMI trained guides at the school. I did not go through training myself though and this course added so much to my understanding of the "how" and "why" lessons are completed the way that they are and increased my admiration of Dr. Montessori's genius.
I have tried over the years to create a physical education environment that mirrors the classroom environment, and this course was just what I needed to continue that work - it was both inspirational and informative.
I truly appreciated the final module on assisting students who may have blocks to learning and the accompanying resources as we navigate an increasing number of students who require an even more prepared adult. So grateful!"

“The Montessori Wellness training has been very helpful for our AMI teachers in understanding the importance of movement in the first years of life. This well-structured training consists of two parts: a theoretical and a practical component. In the theoretical part, the training effectively conveys the significance of movement within the Montessori method for children's motor development. In practical terms, we truly enjoyed putting concepts into practice. All in all, it is a very comprehensive, high-quality, and recommendable training for Montessori centers. Thank you!"

“This curriculum is terrific! I think you truly captured the essence of Montessori and movement. Here are a few components that stood out for me:
-
Your graphics are very clear - good idea to use a minimalist approach with full text of your narrative.
-
I appreciate your on-going connection with Practical Life, as well as some references to language and cognitive development.
-
Great to see such a clear explanation of Montessori's use of the term "gymnastics", particularly from a functional perspective.
-
I love that you brought in both community and nature.
-
Really wonderful to see Barbara Luborsky (occupational therapist and frequent Montessori conference presenter) in your module addressing children who have disabilities.
It is a powerful curriculum that could support all Montessorians (regardless of how long they have been teaching) learn more about movement. I am so glad you are sharing it!”
