Of course there are many good lessons, even some very good lessons, but there are certain lessons which are especially great! They are so Great that they are called the Great Lessons.

Join Michael in this exciting, focused, fun, and eye-opening course on the Great Lessons. You may be surprised! You will discover that this is not simply a rehashing of Montessori ideas or conventional Montessori knowledge. Be prepared to learn new and different things and experience challenging ideas while experiencing so much input from many different sources.

You will really benefit if you are a Montessori guide or trainee for the elementary years. Maybe you need a refresher on great lessons or maybe you never even had them in training. This course is also ideal for primary guides, heads of school, teacher educators, adolescent guides, curriculum directors, homeschoolers, and parents. In fact, anyone who is curious about the Great Lessons is welcome.

You will find that there is, in fact, something for everyone in this class. Eight modules with Michael's prerecorded talks, 19 diverse, rich, and stimulating interviews with Montessori guides from all the world over, a real album-like resource book with references from respected educators and foundational theories, and a concluding zoom session to boot!  That is a lot for one class, even one that is great.

This class is all self-paced, so you can hurry through or take your time-it is up to you.

Be part of something great-great lessons. Sign up today! Ask a friend or colleague to join you in this learning opportunity.

A recent review:

"This course brings clarity and focus. I will continue to revisit it. Michael Dorer really helped me to understand the significance of the Great Lessons and how the entire program from Elementary onwards connects to them. It was also helpful to hear the interviews with various Montessori educators. Many mentioned how teachers can be intimidated by giving the Great Lessons for different reasons. There are so many reasons for this: not wanting to make errors, not starting when we think we should, not having all of the materials, and wondering how to include the experiments. It was refreshing to hear that there is not a one size fits all approach and that some teachers present the experiments first and then refer to them. I was also glad to know that while they should ideally be presented at the start of the year, they can be presented later or more than once. Thank you, Michael Dorer, this course made a huge impact.   Jean Bishop
