Overview

This Montessori Early Childhood Education , M.Ed degree offered by the Trine University prepares children to develop into their best selves. Learners who complete this program enter the workforce with professional qualifications and depth of experience resulting from a nine-month clinical practicum following eight weeks of intensive academic study during the summer. The Master’s program culminates in a final Trine Online Leadership course on research methods.

Clinical Practicum

Following completion of the eight-week academic phase, adult learners are supported to identify an approved Montessori classroom within which to complete a nine-month student teaching experience.

This may be accomplished within the classroom of an experienced supervising teacher or, in some cases, the adult learner may complete a self-directed practicum with additional support by dedicated field supervisors and the program director. It is during this academic year that adult learners acquire experience presenting the Montessori hands-on materials, maintaining planning, observations, and academic recordkeeping, working with parent involvement, and developing strategies for maximizing learning potential in the children they serve.

The mission of The Center for Montessori Education at Trine University is to advance equitable access to Montessori teacher preparation that elevates the child to the center of learning and the prepared environment to the center of engagement.

Program Goals

Prepare adult learners to teach children ages 2 ½-6 years in a Montessori setting.

Guide adult learners to recognize and value needs and tendencies of early childhood and the characteristics of child development that will ultimately contribute to their support of each child’s quest to reach full potential.

Increase awareness of Montessori education and support the development of current and future Montessori early childhood education programs.

Be a resource for school leaders and parents in the area of Montessori education.
