I found NAMC’s program to be a great asset in my desire to improve my professionalism and teaching skills. I have learned a lot from the program. Although I was familiar with the Montessori Method before beginning this program, as I learned more, I realized that many things that I had heard were just stereotypes that people portrayed. I found the manuals to be easy-reading, enjoyable and very informative. I have read most of the manuals more than once, and I enjoy reading them in my spare time—especially the math, language and science ones. I really hope to incorporate as much as I can in my pre-K classroom next year.
I found the professionalism at NAMC to be outstanding. Anyone I spoke to on the phone prior to enrolling was polite, pleasant and very helpful. The assignment feedback that I received from my instructor encouraged me further and made me really want to incorporate as many aspects of the Montessori Method as possible into my classroom. I have bought many materials for use in my classroom, even though my school is not a Montessori school at all. I appreciated getting a call, and it was nice to receive feedback on a personal level, not just a grade. I was also impressed with how fast I got a response.
Although I am still viewing the online videos, they have been very helpful. This resource is one of the reasons that I can confidently say that even though this course is a correspondence course, you can still feel as if you are in the classroom being taught how to use all the materials.
Overall, I really think I gained a lot from this program and I am proud to add it to my resume. I thank you for offering such a unique opportunity.
