Here's a great free resource from Montessori Print Shop that I've recommended in my videos. It really helps with the theory of Montessori. While it isn't exactly the same as my albums, I feel like it is still an excellent resource. As you meet more Montessori teachers, you will realize that no two training centers are alike, even in the AMI world. What's most important to keep mind is, Purpose. What makes this purposeful? I also ask the question, "What's the control of error? " If I become the control of error for my student, then learning becomes about me, the teacher, and less about the child's exploration. It limits opportunities to auto-educate. Even as an adult, we know that learning is way more fun if we correct our mistakes ourselves rather than have someone constantly looking over our shoulders to see if we are doing things correctly. We want learning to be done through intrinsic motivation.

For those studying for exams, just keep in mind that through every experience you want to understand, "what is the logical sequence of steps?" Montessori is logical. It embraces the mathematical mind, so if you get stuck on something, just think through the logic ...and if your examiners ask, "Why" you did something, just have a reason for it. If you can explain your logic, that's purposeful. It shows that you have thought about the lesson and made it personal to your world and environment, even if it is different from your album. As long you know why you are doing something, that's going to be a huge advantage for your exams!
