Practical workshops are organised for the benefit of distance learning students and it is advantageous to attend as many as possible. The object of these workshops is to enable you to put theory into practice. The workshops are conducted by highly qualified, experienced Montessorians and you will be exposed to the full range of Montessori equipment. The lecturer will demonstrate the correct presentation of all the materials, explaining the direct aim, indirect aim, control of error and points of interest, discussing the relevant philosophy as she progresses through the materials. Students have the opportunity to ask questions and clarify any unclear points, making the information gained at workshops invaluable when tackling assignments.

Furthermore, once distance learning students have successfully completed all 8 assignments and attended all 11 workshops, a certificate of attendance is awarded, which complements the diploma, indicating that the course included a practical element.

Parents of children attending a Montessori school are encouraged to attend workshops. If the home and school environments complement each other, the child will receive the maximum benefit.

Anybody working in the education field (Montessori & traditional), whether it be as a teacher, care-giver, assistant teacher, administrator or manager, will find the workshops most beneficial.

Modern Montessori part time and full time students may attend workshops in the event that they have missed lectures and need to make up academic clock hours. Workshops may also be attended for revision purposes.
