I’ve been asked the question about the Montessori curriculum resources many times. It is quite inspirational to hear how many people are willing to discover Montessori for their children and desire to learn more about this method, and the practical side of implementing the Montessori curriculum in their homes.

The amount of information can be overwhelming if you try to grasp it all at once. These are fascinating resources you can come back to over and over again. I found that the best way to understand the big picture is to combine reading Montessori books, online resources with lots of great graphics, and browsing through Montessori videos.
About Montessori
The Montessori way of teaching is an educational approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 1900s. It emphasizes a child-centered environment that fosters independence, freedom within limits, and respect for a child’s natural psychological and physical development.
The Montessori method is based on hands-on learning, with students encouraged to learn at their own pace and work collaboratively in mixed-age groups. The environment is carefully designed to promote exploration and discovery, with teachers acting as guides to support each student’s learning journey. The Montessori approach has been widely adopted around the world and is considered one of the most innovative and effective approaches to early childhood education.
The Montessori curriculum is a child-centered approach to education that emphasizes the importance of independence, self-expression, and creativity. It is designed to encourage children to explore and learn through hands-on experiences and practical activities that promote cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development.
The curriculum is based on the individual needs and interests of each child, and teachers aim to guide students rather than direct them. Key components of the Montessori curriculum include the use of Montessori materials, a multi-age classroom setting, and a focus on hands-on learning and exploration.
Montessori curriculum resources are specific to the Montessori method of education, which emphasizes hands-on learning and individualized instruction. These resources may include lesson plans, materials, and teaching guides that follow the Montessori philosophy.
Many companies and organizations offer Montessori curriculum resources for educators and parents, including Montessori Tube Academy, Montessori Services, and the Association Montessori International. Additionally, there are numerous books and online resources available for individuals interested in incorporating Montessori principles into their teaching or homeschooling.

I am currently doing a Montessori course but am finding it difficult to find write up’s of eg:
Presentation, Points of interest, Control of Error : etc.
The school that i am doing this at does not give us any text book or anything, except show us a few activities and then ask us to run around like crazy to get details on the balance of the subject.
I would appreciate if you could send me the above for Maths, language, Geography, Science
arts & culture and anything else that might be able to get me through this course.
I am currently unemployed and cannot afford to go anywhere else to complete this course.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Look forward to a favorable response
Kind regards
