The Center for Guided Montessori Studies (CGMS) is an accredited teacher training program intended to make Montessori teacher education more effective and more accessible. Designed by well-respected Montessorians Kitty Bravo, Tim Seldin and Jonathan Wolff, the CGMS course of study uses cutting-edge distance-learning technologies to reduce the amount of time students have to spend physically at any one given Montessori training center. These same technologies also allow students to collaborate more effectively, and review Montessori theory and practice more thoroughly and with greater repetition over time. Since 2006, all CGMS programs can be done from the comfort of your home, enabling you to study and learn, and still have time for family, friends, and professional obligations. At only five weekly hours of studying for professional development or ten hours a week for teacher certification, it's easy to fit CGMS programs into your work schedule.
