University Education (Diploma and Postgraduate)
The University Diploma in Montessori Pedagogy, offered by Tu Guía Montessori in collaboration with the Universidad a Distancia de Madrid (UDIMA) and the Universidad Valle de Atemajac (UNIVA), is an international six-month training program aimed at teachers, childhood professionals, families, and individuals interested in respectful education. This program trains participants to apply Montessori pedagogy (0-6 years) in the classroom, at home, or in their own projects.
The diploma combines theory and practice, supported by prestigious universities. It includes access to a 24/7 online platform, bi-weekly live classes, audiovisual materials, PDF guides, practical cases, and personalized feedback. Students will learn the scientific foundations of Montessori, child development, environment preparation, the use of scientific materials, and the philosophy of the method, including areas such as practical life, sensory, language, mathematics, and cosmic education.
The program, divided into six modules, covers from the life of Maria Montessori to practical application in the 0-3 and 3-6 year cycles, with an emphasis on autonomy, observation, and positive discipline. Evaluation includes continuous tests, practical cases, a final essay, and material presentations. Upon completion, a university degree is awarded, enhancing job opportunities and potentially considered in competitive exams.
Directed by Miriam Escacena, an expert in Montessori and Positive Discipline, the diploma stands out for its accessibility, academic rigor, and continuous support, with testimonials from students who have transformed classrooms, created projects, or worked in Montessori schools. Places are limited to ensure personalized attention.
