This November, 6 preschool teachers, part of OvidiuRO Early Literacy Network, participated in an intensive 2-week AMI Montessori Assistant (3 – 6 years old) course in Bucharest – fellowships provided by Montessori Institute of Bucharest, in partnership with OvidiuRO.
Besides the final selection – an interview with OvidiuRO’s trainers, the selection criteria also focused on the teachers’ level of engagement in OvidiuRO’s projects; as always, working with disadvantaged children in poor communities was another selection criteria.
“For me, this experience was like waking up, because only now – after these mind-blowing 10 days – do I realize my true role as a teacher – so that I can provide all the needed support for the child’s natural, full development.” Florica Dobran, Preschool Teacher in Satu Mare
