Montessori and the Science of Reading


Frequently Asked Questions



How does this work?
Use the registration links below to sign up for the conference. If you are a tax exempt organization, please use the tax exempt button to get approved as a tax exempt buyer and receive a special purchase link.

During the registration process you will set up a login account for the Trillium Montessori Courses platform. Please save your login details (email and password) in a safe place... you will need these to log in and view the videos! 

If you are purchasing on behalf of one or more people, we will send you access links to pass on to the attendees. This may take up to 72 hours. You do not need to give us the names or emails of the participants.

NOTE: If you do not receive a confirmation email within 30 minutes of signing up, please contact [email protected]. The most common reason for this is registering with a typo in your email! We can help you sort this out.

The videos will be released on June 19. You may log in and view the presentations as soon as they are released or at your convenience. 

Does the registration price include access to all the videos and certificates?
Yes.

Can I download the videos?
No. They can only be watched when you are logged in. Streaming the videos requires a fairly reliable internet connection.

How long do I have access to the videos?
You have access to the Summit content through June 30, 2024. You may watch the videos as often as you wish during that time.

What time are the sessions in my country?
No need to worry about time zones! You do not have to attend at a specific time. You can watch the presentations at your convenience.

I'm only interested in a couple of the presentations. Can I purchase them separately?
The presentations are not available for purchase separately.

Will the certificate count towards the AMS Continuing Education requirement or the requirements for my state/region?
While we do not guarantee that our certificates will be accepted by any particular agency, thousands of Montessori educators have received Trillium certificates over the past couple of years and we have not heard any feedback that the certificates were rejected. If you are counting on having the certificates approved, we recommend contacting your agency of choice before you sign up.

The Summit is also eligible for a CEU upgrade from Loyola University's center for continuing education for an additional fee. Learn more about CEU upgrades ​here​.

I don't work in a Montessori setting. Can I sign up?

Will the certificates qualify me to teach in a Montessori school?

No. These certificates simply serve as documentation that you participated in a professional development opportunity. This conference is not equivalent to Montessori training.
