Children work collaboratively and cooperatively with their peers, and have a newfound fascination in maintaining social justice within their school community and the world at large. The teacher promotes the sense of imagination by offering inspirational stories that prompt curious questions. The Elementary environment is well-organized, individualized, and provides many opportunities for peer interactions and focused concentration. Adult learners at WSMS-TEP continue to study developmental milestones and practice the art of observation and documentation, practice with materials and the art of storytelling, but also learn how to promote individual exploration and creative responses as they explore age-appropriate lessons and discover how children make connections to the real world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style

coursework in Montessori theory and practice. Elementary credential programs are offered through a hybrid format. In-person classes are held at West Side Montessori School (309 West 92nd Street, New York, NY 10025) and Metropolitan Montessori School (325 West 85th Street, New York, NY 10024), online sessions via our Learning Management Systems (Canvas, PowerSchool), and virtual sessions via Zoom. Adult learners at WSMS-TEP study developmental needs and milestones of children, practice observation and record keeping strategies, work to master the essential material presentations, and learn the importance of optimistic leadership for the benefit of children and their families.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-k5y9b459-c1b855b19e1156a1d467f3800eb296db-wrap

Students are responsible for finding their own placement, though we will offer suggestions of schools that we have found to be successful practicum sites. The intern must work for a minimum of a six-hour daily classroom schedule from September to June in an approved Montessori school under the supervision of an approved supervising teacher.
