2024 AMI Refresher
AMI Refresher 3-6
Psycho-sensorial Education and the Development of the Intelligence
Friday 15th and Saturday 16th November 2024
“Psycho-sensorial education is the basis for educating the intelligence – not only, because it gives material to the intellect, but also because it establishes order in the construction of the intellect”.
Maria Montessori – 1913 Rome Lectures
All learning starts with a stimulus to the senses which sets in motion the pathway that enables the brain to form, store and retrieve memories. Drawing on the neuroscientific principles that underpin learning, this AMI Refresher will revisit the many ways in which we give sensorial experience in the Children’s House.
This course will be led by our Head of Training, Louise Livingston. She will:
- Give an overview of how the brain learns
- Highlight the role of sensorial experience in learning
- Explore the link between motor skills and sensorial experience
- Emphasise the aspects of the children’s activity, which neuroscientific knowledge tells us are key to learning
- Cover both theoretical and practical aspects of the sensorial area
Information will be given through presentations, discussion and practice with the materials.
Dates and Times: Friday 15th and Saturday 16th November 9am-5pm (Registration 8:45am) with lunch provided
Venue: Maria Montessori Institute, 41 Riding House Street, London W1W 7BE
Early bird fee: £108 (until 30th September 2024)
Standard fee: £125 (from 1st October 2024)
This course is open to all Montessori 3-6 diploma holders. AMI Diploma graduates will receive an AMI Refresher certificate and other students will receive an AMI Certificate of Attendance. To be awarded either certificate you must attend all sessions.
“It brought a fresh layer to my Montessori knowledge and practice. A pleasure to learn and further appreciate Montessori’s genius. I was buzzing with ideas and plans after each session.”
