          Story Telling

        A good Montessori teacher training institute covers all the areas touched upon in the recommended Montessori teacher manuals for infant toddler and primary setting anywhere in the world. This includes Language and Arts, Mathematics, Practical Life, Sensorial, Zoology, Biology and Geography and History. However, what differentiates the better Montessori Teacher Training Institutes is really the focus on a robust practical curriculum that helps students master the use of various Montessori equipments. This is where IIMTT is miles ahead of any other teacher training institute in India with a rigorous hands-on practical curriculum covering Exercises of practical life, sensorial, mathematics and language, history, geography, music and arts. IIMTT Kolkata has been delivering the best Montessori education in Kolkata for close to a decade now.

        The duration of a Montessori teacher training program varies between 9-18 months depending on the course that aspiring teachers have enrolled into. A graduate program with a 3 days a week in-class program would take 9 months to complete. A weekend program in Montessori education would take between 15-18 months. A post graduate diploma with IIMTT would take 15 months to complete. Do look up the available courses for more information.

        The important question to answer is - what utility is one looking to achieve pursuing a Montessori certification in Kolkata? There a dime in a dozen institutes offering ‘Montessori’ teacher training programs with limited focus on true Montessori principles and philosophies. A hybrid certification program offered by institutes not specializing in true Montessori principles can only lead to the delivery of below par teaching practices. Over a period of time, the value of these ‘certifications’ erode and well-meaning aspiring teachers end up holding a worthless piece of paper for life. IIMTT’s global qualifications lend solid credibility to any Montessorian looking for a global career as an early years educator. And the success of our graduates is not limited to Montessori schools alone. Our graduates are successfully pursuing a truly enriching teaching career in leading schools in Kolkata like New Town School, DPS New Town, DPS Megacity, Ashok Hall, Bhavans, St Stephens, St James and many more reputed institutions.

        We honestly believe that no salary can truly compensate for the value that an early years educator adds to young children they impact. The remuneration also varies greatly between institutes and schools and individual capabilities of teachers also determine the salary. Having said that, it is true that preschool and high school teachers in Kolkata are typically paid lower than most metro cities in the country. An IIMTT graduate is at the top of the class in remunerations though and can typically expect to earn between Rs 1-3 lacs per annum.

        The ideals of Montessori for working with children are based on a holistic approach that starts at birth (or as young as possible) and builds up as children grow more mature over the years. Properly understood, it has the benefit of working very well for a large variety of children. It is an entire system that has been checked and can be applied as a whole or in part for the last 100 years. Try it you should find that it also works for you.

        The Montessori Method is characterised by the offering of a prepared environment: clean, pleasing in appearance, transparent and true, where each aspect exists to promote the growth of the child for a reason. Mixed-age children who are split into 3-year periods are part of a Montessori classroom. In the classroom, this clearly promotes socialisation, empathy and harmony between them.To provide them with the keys to discovering our environment and improving basic cognitive skills, children work with scientifically engineered structural materials. The materials are organized in a scientific manner to encourage the child to self-recognize the mistake and become responsible for his/her own learning. Montessori follows a very different approach to traditional education. You can read more about it here.
