Elementary
I-II
(6 to 12 years)
Level I: 6-9 years
The integrated Elementary curriculum responds to the child's developing
imagination and intense desire for knowledge by providing a framework
for exploration of nature, the world and the universe. MECR students
develop instructional strategies and materials to facilitate individualized
educational programming and they learn to use Montessori materials
which support the development of language and math concepts and skills.
Level
II: 9-12 years (Extension of EL I course for EL I-II 6-12 credential)
This course is a continuation of the Elementary I level and requires
a second summer of academic coursework, with a focus on children ages
9 - 12 years. Montessori teachers who already hold a 6-9 credential
are also encouraged to apply.
