Montessori II: Practical Life, Sensory Education, Art, Music and Movement (EC/Preschool)

This first of two curriculum courses provides instruction in the planning, design, and implementation of the beginning curriculum areas of Montessori settings for ages 0-6 years old. Strategies for socialization of children group settings through developmentally appropriate practice and curriculum are studied and applied through practical experience. This also provides insight for traditional early childhood education teachers for integration of these methods into their classrooms. The class teaches strategies for teaching young children in the areas of practical life (everyday living), sensory education, art, music and movement. Various methods for individualizing learning and classroom management are stressed.
