Theoretical subjectsIn this course, the biography of Maria Montessori- a historical perspective will be treated. The component will give the adult learners strong foundation in Montessori key concepts (i.e. absorbent mind, sensitive periods, normalization and the importance of meaningful work, the balance of freedom and discipline, the spiritual and moral development of the child). The role of the Montessori guide and the spiritual preparation of the teacher will form a main focus of the course in addition to the practical application of Montessori theory to every day classroom experiences with an emphasis on the inter-relationship of the child-adult-environment.
