Through her studies, she recognized that children who were challenged in learning experiences could be referred to as exhibiting unequal development. The diagram of the four planes of development for the typical child shows all of the lines from birth to age 24 as straight lines. For the child with disabilities, these lines are better indicated as wavy lines because of the child\u2019s unequal development. Dr. Montessori saw these differences in children and spoke of the need to follow all children through techniques of observation and assessment. This information is then analyzed in order to plan for individualized instruction, to meet the needs of individual children.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\"

The candidate must work for a minimum of 16 weeks (half-day for IT and EC, full day for EL) in an approved Montessori school under the supervision of a qualified supervising teacher.

The MIE program at WSMS-TEP begins in the fall with an online course. Candidates may begin the asynchronous orientation to WSMS-TEP and Orientation to Online Learning as soon as enrollment has been finalized. Online courses continue throughout the school year according to the published calendar. Candidates must attend the mandatory in-residence Differentiated Instruction course for a 6-day period in the summer session. WSMS-TEP will consider offering the in-residence portion in other locations if there is sufficient cohort enrolled. Practicum in a Montessori inclusive environment may begin after the summer session and is concurrent with the final online coursework and practicum phase. The total time to complete the program is estimated at 18 months.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-k5zihddl-a05e8fc2ef8ee3ede70edbd2ca8da340-wrap avia-button-right  avia-builder-el-23  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><a href='https:\/\/wsmsnyc.org\/teachereducation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WSMS-TEP-MIE-2026-28.pdf'  class='avia-button av-k5zihddl-a05e8fc2ef8ee3ede70edbd2ca8da340 avia-icon_select-yes-right-icon avia-size-small avia-position-right avia-color-theme-color'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" ><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >MIE Calendar 2026-2028<\/span><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_right' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue88d' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
