Teacher training

Where does Montessori training lead?

Montessori-trained teachers work in schools all over the world. Many go on to add further teaching qualifications, such as a diploma in the teaching of dyslexic children or adults. A number use the Montessori diploma as a qualification to start a university course in teaching (e.g. a Bachelor of Education honours degree or similar, such as that offered by the University of London's Institute of Education). Studying for this can either be full time at university or by completing such courses on an in-service basis as the teacher continues to teach in a school. Of course, the entry requirements for each university and its degree courses vary but a number of staff at Prospect House School or its sister schools have followed these routes with great success.

Here is what two recently qualified Montessori students who are now full time teachers have said about the Montessori course:

"The Montessori course provided us with a thorough insight into teaching. We had the opportunity to work alongside qualified teachers in a structured Montessori environment, gaining first hand experience of working with children of different ages. It has therefore encouraged and enabled us to further our teaching careers."
