THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. SEE BOTTOM OF POST FOR ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE WINNER!
I’m so excited to announce another fabulous giveaway sponsored by Karen Tyler at World Wide Montessori Online! I don’t do a lot of giveaways … but Karen Tyler sponsors AMAZING giveaways! I was fortunate to host one of Karen’s course giveaways before, and I’m VERY HAPPY to be able to give another lucky person the chance to win Karen’s Montessori training course and 12 Montessori teacher training albums!
I wrote before about Karen Tyler’s Montessori Training Course and gave you ways to get her wonderful geography album and 3-part botany and zoology cards for free. In Karen’s training course, not only do you receive 12 albums with over 5,000 pages of activities and presentations, but you also receive lectures and can correspond with Karen, a certified AMS teacher, throughout your course. You may schedule Skype consultations with Karen as well. And even though it’s a course that gives you huge amounts of helpful information, there’s no pressure … there aren’t tests or assignments, and you can take the course totally at your own pace.
Karen will be starting a new Montessori Training Course on September 1. I highly recommend her training! Read about it in my earlier post. Karen also has all the details at World Wide Montessori Online.
Now for the Giveaway:
What You Will Win: Karen Tyler’s Complete Montessori Training Course that starts September 1 AND the 12 Montessori teacher training albums/manuals that are full of curriculum!!! (Depending on your payment plan, this would normally cost $150-240 … and it’s worth much, much more than that!)

I live in the Netherlands, I am 55 years old. At our Montessori school, we recently work with three year olds in the basement. I particularly like making new things for “practical life,.
Sincerely,
Jannie
I would love to learn from the Language album and follow a Montessori way of developing language skills. Our kids in this children’s home are learning English as a second or third language and attend an English medium school, so this would be really interesting!

This is my 7/19 entry! I want to win this because I would love to know exactly how to set up each lesson! I have a lot of the materials already but not the books on how to set it up!!
i am planning to home school in the fall and will be doing it montessori style….this would help me out a lot…

It would be great not only to be able to show the kids all the math materials, but to understand why we show them the way we do!

I would LOVE to win this! My daughter is turning two in September and we just cleared out our guestroom to turn into a Montessori school room for her and she eats up the activities we’ve been doing so far. She seems to thrive when I’m trying to follow the Montessori principles, she is a very strong willed and independent child. We will be homeschooling her until she graduates from high school and will be doing the same with any future children we have. I feel this would be an INCREDIBLE asset to have for our family, as I have been trying to do as much reading as possible to do things the right way, but I feel I have SO much left to learn! I am a stay at home mom and would have the time to complete the course! What a blessing it would be!

I am unsure if this will count, but because I do not have Twitter, I shared both the contest and the website on my Facebook wall.
