What People Are Saying…

“I’ve been a Montessori teacher for over a decade. The daily grind and stress of life sometimes made me feel far removed from the awe and wonder I experienced during training. This course has been a meaningful catalyst for revisiting central elements of Montessori and rejuvenating my practice. Reawakening helped me reexamine core topics through a collective lens of experience led by Jennifer and Rosemary. Their insights and guidance are outstanding. The activities, discussions, resources, and tools make the course a motivating and satisfying experience without the pressure of due dates and quizzes. You’re gonna look forward to each module, discussion, and activity! The beautiful delivery of content is carefully chosen and sequenced, spanning Montessori roots, creative outlets for introspection, modern research, and strategies. There’s a great balance of personal reflection and group sharing. I’m grateful I took this course!”

-Melissa M., Early Childhood teacher with over 10 years of classroom experience

“Reawakening Montessori reconnected me to my Montessori heart. Through this course I remembered that Montessori isn't about perfection but about learning and becoming, for both student and guide. The course content and meetings helped me remove my blinders and become a more astute observer and centered practitioner.”

-Lisa W., Upper Elementary Guide with 10 years of Montessori classroom experience
