All Testimonials
“I feel more confident and aligned with Montessori principles...” The WMA coaching program has helped me understand how to implement Montessori lessons using the proper methodology. Thanks to this support, I feel more confident and aligned with Montessori principles in my daily practice.
“My coach helped me order, organize, and set up materials...” This coaching experience has provided me with many insights into Montessori during my first year. The biggest support from my coach has been in helping to order, organize, and successfully set up the different Montessori materials within the classroom to help each day run as smoothly as possible.
“She supported me while I told the Great Lessons...” My mentor, Clare, came in ready to support me and my students. She jumped in giving lessons that my students needed, but I wasn't trained in yet...
“She even found hard-to-get materials for me...” On her time away from the classroom, she found the materials, some not so easy to come by, that were needed to complete the lessons, command cards, and experiments...
“She’s helped with so many lessons. I see growth in all my students.” I feel much more confident in myself as a teacher. Tierra is such a great resource. It’s great to know I can go to her when I have a question.
