"This course is wonderful. It is a helpful tool for understanding Montessori and what their expectations are for adults, students, and education. It is a great beginning guide to start your Montessori journey!" - Annie Schmitzer
"As an administrator, I loved how the course encouraged and taught substitutes ways to regulate their emotions as well as learn to view emotions from the students as language/indicators of other needs or desires. I think this is often one of the biggest challenges for teachers when they enter the classroom and do not already have established relationships with the students." - Alice Williams
