MONTESSORI METHOD |
 |
|
The training of the teacher who is to help life is something far more than the learning of ideas. It includes the training of character; it is a preparation of the spirit.

PREPARATION OF THE GUIDE
There are two aspects to the preparation that an adult must undergo to become a Montessori guide. The first preparation is spiritual, in which the adult must undergo a transformation to become humble, optimistic, and prepared to serve the spirit of the child while letting go of pride, ego, and judgments. The second preparation is practical, in which the adult must acquire, among other things, knowledge of the Montessori Materials, the ability to manage and maintain the classroom environment, and an overall presence of grace, courtesy, and patience.
