I Love MontessoriAmerican Montessori Society (AMS) Certification PapersNovember 11, 2008 by Miss Norma | 7 comments
Hurray! I finally got my certification. Everything has been approved and I am officially a certified primary Montessori teacher. I am certified by the American Montessori Society (AMS). It feels great to be able to say I am finished with my training. It was hard and intensive work, but it is all over now. Now it is time to put it into practice and enjoy doing it. I am certified as of September. I am considering undergoing more training for a different level, but that is a while away.
I cannot believe it is over. I thought that this day would never get here with all the papers and materials I had to write and put together. It was such hard work! Now I have to work on my next big milestone, which is to become a successful and effective teacher.
My certificate was all I needed to become an legitimate Montessori teacher.
Congrats. Just curious, Is it AMI? I am doing a diploma under MMI. Modern Montessori International. Its affiliated to International Montessori Council. Have any idea?
Thank you Maya. My certification is AMS. I am not familiar with International Montessori Council, but I will look into it because i would like to learn more about.
Good luck with your studies.

Did u ever find out? I actually dint have time to browse. Have you done child psychology under AMI? Thes days I am bc with Child development, you have any written stuff? I like your blog!
Maya I looked at the AMI website but not closely. I will be looking at it so that I can get more familiar with it. I do have a friend who is AMI certified and I have been looking into getting my next training from them, but that is not going to be for a while.
About the Child Development and psychology papers, sorry I don’t have any. For the Child Development part of my training I wrote a paper comparing a Montessori base article and a traditional base one. I have nothing on Child Psychology, Sorry. But if the Child Development paper can help you let me know.
Take care

Thank you for replying me, I was kind of busy with my assignment for child development. I hope you are enjoying teaching kids. I will let you know more about the module, once I finish my assignment, I did leave you a question in another comment, hope you’ll come through it! Take care
It’s nice of you to share your ideas and insights on this topic.
Montessori certification is an excellent investment for those pursuing teaching careers. Whether a person is interested in teaching preschool, high school, or even at the university level, the central principles of the Montessori approach are bound to be of use. Training programs provide hands-on skills in addition to theoretical knowledge in an effort to promote competence and effectiveness in the classroom.
Please be careful because if your training is not MACTE affiliated you may have difficulty finding (or in my case keeping) your Montessori position. My training was online. Since it is not MACTE affiliated, the state is refusing to put it on my teaching certificate, so I may be out of a job in August.
