Secondary I and II
12 through 14/15 and 14/15 through 18 years
Adolescence is a strange and exciting time in an individual's life. Brains and bodies are changing, as well as self-concept, personal connections, and attitudes. All of this is important, because educators of adolescents must know this age's needs and help them develop the best of who they will become.
​
Training to become a Secondary I (12-14/15 year-olds) and Secondary II (14/15 - 18 year-olds) involves learning how to deliver curriculum, how to use Montessori methods to enhance academic and personal growth for each individual.
​
Adult learners will experience Montessori techniques in training that they will be able to use in their own classroom with students.

I consider myself a "tender". I tend my garden, which I love. I've tended students from preschool through 95-year olds. Being a classroom teacher in Special Education, and then a Secondary guide in both public and private Montessori secondary classrooms meant I got to tend a lot of things. I tend my time to include gardening, reading, cooking and some travel with my wife. I do love to teach.
