“Wow! The word training is conspicuously inadequate to describe the experience I just went through.”

“One of the greatest growth experiences I have engaged in at the CMStep training was the wonderful community our cohort formed.”

“Among many other things, I have learned to create better transitions, set intentions and express gratitude with my students, create the opportunity for reflection and silence, make food preparation a consistent part of the program, and to make the space for students to lead and own the program.”

I can’t say enough great things about the low-residency program at CMStep! I have been continually impressed with the high quality of the virtual instruction, which includes a multi-sensory method utilizing videos, visual and audio presentations, written information and readings assignments. Assignments similarly reflect appropriate adult learning opportunities. I have also been amazed by the intentionality that has gone into administrative decision-making. The blended model of remote and in-person instruction has clearly been thoroughly thought through. Finally, I have really appreciated the opportunities for personal connections with both instructors and peers through Zoom meetings, emails, phone calls, and more. I am learning and growing every day through this experience and highly recommend the program to any professional looking to advance her or his career in Montessori secondary education.

“I already have my master’s degree, so I wasn’t sure how much I could gain from another teacher education program. I have been surprised and delighted by the depth and quality of what I have been offered.”

I have a Montessori upper-level credential and one of the great parts of this program for me has been learning what cosmic education for the adolescent can look like. I’m glad it doesn’t end at age 12!
