Continuing Professional Development (CPD)  requirements vary from year to year, even within the same Montessori setting. There is a unique way to manage your changing needs with the assistance of Wildwood Montessori Consultancy.

 

One-to-one consultations, workshops and seminars are tailored to suit the individual needs of Montessori teachers, and it often makes economic sense to group together with other Montessori schools and nurseries in your area. Popular programmes include:

 

• Pre-Ofsted Foundation Stage Inspection Consultancy:

An opportunity to review and audit your Montessori nursery education provision and check that all aspects of the six areas of learning in the Foundation Stage are adequately represented in ways which are accessible to the Ofsted Foundation Stage inspectors.

 

• Montessori Meets the Early Learning Goals

 

A detailed look at six Areas of Learning and ways in which a prepared Montessori learning environment helps children move along the Stepping Stones towards the Early Learning Goals.

 

• Post- Ofsted and Action Plan Consultancy

Time to discuss and reflect on the outcome of your Ofsted Foundation Stage Inspection, to identify objectives, time scales and procedures for an Action Plan to address areas for further development.

 

• Subject Specific Workshops and Seminars

Subject specific seminars focus on extending programmes for creativity, art, music, geography, mapping skills and botany through topic work.

 

• The On We Go! Speech, Language and Communication Programme

This popular extension to the existing Montessori Pink reading scheme materials enables children and teachers to develop and use reading lists and booklets which are customised to suit individual children’s interests, learning styles and stages of development.

 

• Special Needs and Disabilities Seminars

Choose from a general introduction to Montessori schools' statutory responsibility to identify, assess and provide for children’s special educational needs (SEN), or a workshop focussing on a specific learning disability, such as Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Autistic Spectrum disorders and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - or global developmental delay and sensory integration.

• Montessori Baby Programmes

The most important period in a human being’s educational and emotional development is the first few years of life. Montessori baby programmes focus on independence in movement, thinking, communication, socialisation and language skills.

 

• Montessori in The Home, and Home Education

A child who feels respected and competent develops a strong level of emotional wellbeing. This programme of Montessori home activities is designed to help children learn how to do things for themselves.

 

• Montessori in the Primary Years

This is a multi-age integrated programme for the intellectual, physical, emotional and social development during the primary years; the passage from the sensorial, material level of education to the abstract.
