The Canadian Montessori Teachers Education Institute's commitment is to:
For the Montessori Infant and Toddler Teacher Education, Montessori Early Childhood Education and the Montessori Elementary Education, the Canadian Montessori Teacher Education Institute is open to motivated persons who have a love and respect for the child; previous experience with children is an asset.
For the Montessori Assistant Workshop, the Canadian Montessori Teacher Education Institute is open to Montessori assistant-teachers, or anyone considering a career in a Montessori learning environment.
The Institute accepts persons without regard to race, colour, sexual orientation, religion or national origin.
The Montessori Diploma Course is open to motivated persons who have acquired a sound educational background and or who have experience with children.
Two basic non-academic requirements needed to enter the course are "motivation" and "love of children". Regarding the academic requirements, prospective candidate Montessori teachers must have completed, at the minimum, high school diploma. Photocopies of any diplomas are requested.
Prior to accepting a prospective candidate, the Director of the Institute may conduct a personal interview with the applicant. During this interview, the applicant usually gives reasons why he/she wishes to receive the Montessori Education training Course. The Director verifies the applicants' personal and professional goals and ascertains how the goals will integrate with working with children in a Montessori learning environment. The interview also focuses on the strengths of the applicant; the prospective role of a Montessori teacher or educator guide; the approach in working with colleagues or dealing with parents; the philosophy of life regarding children with special needs, handicaps, or gifted, and today's family.
As part of the interview process, the Director may invite applicants especially those who do not already work in a Montessori environment to come to a school to observe the "life" of a Montessori teacher in order to reaffirm their choice of becoming a Montessori teacher or educator.
On the registration form, prospective candidates write their experience with children, their talents and interests related to children, and their academic degree completed (transcripts requested). Also on the first day of the Montessori Education courses, each candidate is asked to give his/her expectations about this Montessori Education course explaining his/her personal and/or professional reasons for receiving the Montessori preparation.
