I found NAMC’s program to be a great asset in my desire to improve my professionalism and teaching skills. I’ve 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 heard were just stereotypes that people portrayed. I found the manuals to be easy reading, enjoyable, and very informative. I’ve 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 prior to enrolling was polite, pleasant, and very helpful. The assignment feedback that I received from my tutor encouraged me further and made me really want to incorporate as many aspects of the Montessori Method as I can in 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!

The online videos have been very helpful. This resource is one of the reasons that I can confidently say that even though this is a distance program, you 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 NAMC for offering such a unique opportunity.
