AMI Adolescent Virtual Orientation 12-18
Orientation 12-18, formerly known as the Assistants Course, have been renamed by AMI to more accurately reflect the course content. Over the duration of ten weeks, participants will be provided an overview of essential Montessori principles and background information necessary to meet the developmental needs of adolescents. Participants who complete the course requirements will receive an AMI Certificate of Completion. Prior AMI Montessori training at the early childhood or elementary levels will enhance the orientation experience but is not a prerequisite. Lecturers, presenters, and practitioners include AMI trainers and AMI trained practitioners with extensive experience in the field of Montessori adolescent work and have previously worked on the Orientation to Adolescent Studies in Huntsburg, Ohio (now the International Montessori Training Institute). Faculty advisors individually assist course participants to reach an understanding of Montessori theory and practices and to help them apply those principles to their own community, location, and circumstances. Participants can shape their specialized backgrounds (in math, science, humanities) as part of a total Montessori vision, allowing them to design an adolescent program that addresses their unique combinations of students, faculty, site, and administration at their schools.
