The Cincinnati Montessori Secondary Teacher Education Program
Montessori Secondary Teacher & School Leadership Training
CMStep is an innovative, multidisciplinary graduate program for teachers interested in creating hands-on curricula and field studies for students ages 12-18. The program involves the mastery of an established body of curriculum and a thorough understanding of the philosophy, program structure, and specific instructional strategies needed by the educator to establish a Montessori secondary program. In addition, there are opportunities for personal transformation through field studies, experiential courses, coaching, and supervision.
Gratitude is the prevailing emotion when I think about my CMStep training. From laying the foundation of Montessori philosophy to recreating it at the secondary level, CMStep helped me move from feeling like an imposter to becoming a confident educator.
