Duhovka Montessori Teacher Education ProgramEstablished in 2012, Duhovka Montessori Teacher Education Program honors the pedagogical methods and principles developed by Dr. Maria Montessori.
Our Teaching Sites in Prague, Czech Republic and Amelia Island, Florida, USA are affiliated by the American Montessori Society and accredited by MACTE.
All programs prepare our Adult Learners for a successful career as a Montessori guide. Our courses are taught in English, by international, credentialed staff, with respect for multilingual and multicultural environments.
In Summer 2019 we are starting our 3rd training location in Hamar, Norway.
The program is comprised of an academic and practicum phase. Each level has a specific schedule of courses and required hours. Two or three summer sessions are supplemented by additional seminars through the school year. Subject manuals are created during training, and two required projects are done during the practicum phase.
Coursework includes a combination of lecture, presentation, and supervised practice sessions. Assignments are done individually and in small groups. The academic part of the program includes some online learning components.
The valuable practicum phase offers a guided experience, during which the Adult Learner combines their academic knowledge, including philosophy and methodology, with practical class experience. These components synthesize to develop a competent and talented Montessori guide.
