Good powerpoint slides- clear and relevant to the subject matter with good photos/examples; although I thought this was a course on Montessori methods for children, not adults. I think it should be stated in the course title; however, even though I am not working with adults at this time, I can still use some of the information/strategies with children as well.

Well organized & presented with notes. They gave information on some prepared Montessori activities and how to purchase them keeping in mind to use everyday materials first and foremost. Examples of activities are key & they shared those with us.

videos. However, the presenters should have paced themselves better to be able to cover all their slides instead of running out of time. I also did not think that it was clear that this course was about Montessori methods with the geriatric population. I thought it was about children.

The course provided very well thought out information that would be benficial to either someone familiar with the Montessori method or for someone new the methodology. The examples of Montessori-based Programming were very helpful in understanding how the programming was targeted to a dementia population.

Many of us are familiar with Montessori principles as applied to use with young children. Very valuable information was given showing how to adapt the same principles for use with a completely different population! Bravo!
