PRACTICUM/INTERNSHIP SITE
*
AMS certification requires that all elementary interns complete at least one full year in a full-time practicum in a Montessori three year multi-age classroom at the level for which they are being trained. A student interning in a 9-12 class that does not have 6th grade students is required to make a plan to observe and present lessons to 6th grade students. This plan must be approved by the METTC practicum coordinator. The intern must work full time, typically for a minimum of six hours per day, five days per week for the school year, and remain in the same classroom throughout the entire year. Other practicum phase requirements are part of a practicum site agreement form which will need to be completed by all parties upon admission and prior to the start of the practicum phase.
