Want a unified approach to lessons across all areas of the classroom? Then get all five of our Teacher Education Albums!

Remember that the lessons we offer in each area of the environment build upon and rely upon the others. For example, the way we present the red rods in Sensorial is foundational for how we present the number rods in Math. For this reason, we recommend that you purchase ALL FIVE albums.

These albums are designed for teachers in primary/early childhood classrooms (ages 3 to 6+). Click below to see a preview of the contents and selected lessons from each album.

The Maitri Album Difference

Our albums are grounded in the AMI/Dwyer approach with the added insight of current research. You can read more about the research behind the albums in our blog post on Montessori Manuals/Albums. Find details about how they can be used in an authentic teacher preparation program in our blog posts on Teacher Education.

Cohesive: Unified across the curriculum (sensorial is aligned with math, etc.)
Brain-based: Infused with the teachings of cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychology, neurobiology, and MBE (mind, brain, and education)

Choose your Format

You can purchase our albums in three different formats:

Option 1: View-Only PDFs (no printing/downloading available)

You can read all of our albums directly from our Google Drive. If you choose this format, there is no option to print or download the albums.

Option 2: Hard-Copy (includes view-only access to the albums on our Google drive)

The hard-copy of the albums are printed on high-quality, 3-hole punch paper. No binders or tabs are included. All hard-copies come with free access to the Google Drive view-only version of the album.

Option 3: Printable/Viewable PDC File (requires our secure viewing software; can be viewed/printed offline)

Our PDC albums can be viewed forever and printed (up to three times) using secure software (the LockLizard PDF viewer). Here’s what happens when you purchase one or more of our PDC albums:

1. Immediately receive an email with a link to download the secure PDF file (a .PDC document).
2. Within one business day, receive an email with links to (1) install the software required to use the PDC file and (2) activate your license.
3. Install the software and activate your license. Once you do, you'll be able to view your PDC file on your own device and print it to any printer your device can connect directly to (usually not a print center's printer).

We’ve tested this on our devices (laptops, tablets, and phones) so we know from personal experience that the software is easy and quick to install and use. For more information, you can watch this video on how to open a PDC file.
You can activate your license on up to two Mac, Windows, iOS, or Android devices (e.g., your laptop and phone) but you can only print the files from a Mac or Windows PC. Once the software is installed and your files are downloaded, you can view and print the PDC files offline.
Note that printing a single page or multiple copies of a single page counts toward the total print count (e.g., printing only page 4 three times will use up your entire print allotment). Be mindful to choose the exact pages you would like to print and only print one copy at a time, otherwise you may use up your prints inadvertently. If you need to print a complete album more than three times, just purchase the product again.

Product Details

Instructor Edition (1,166 pages; full color)

If you are a teacher trainer or a trained teacher, you want the Instructor edition. The Instructor albums include:

All theory
Photos/illustrations clearly showing the key parts of every lesson
All text-based information for each lesson
Suggested age to offer the presentation
Prerequisite lessons (e.g., the Sound game before the sandpaper letters)
Purpose (also known as the aim, direct or indirect)
Materials needed
Step-by-step instructions for the Presentation
Step-by-step instructions for all following exercises
Pedagogical notes
Accommodations (for select materials)

Student Edition (826 pages; black & white)

If you are running a teacher education program, you want your students to have the Student edition. This allows your students to add in the theory and photo/illustration portions of the album. The Student (teacher-in-training) albums includes:

All text-based information for each lesson (just as in the Instructor's album)
Placeholders indicating where theory or other album elements should be added
Photos and theory are intentionally omitted so that the guide-in-training will add their own

Personal Use

Your purchase gives you license to use your file for your personal use. You do not have license to copy, sell, or in anyway distribute/share the printed product or the file itself.

Made in the USA.

A Note to Montessorians

These albums on their own are no substitute for a teacher preparation program. These albums are a great support for:

(1) School leaders who need to create a common, school-wide approach across classrooms where teachers have diverse trainings.

(2) Montessori Instructors/Teacher Trainers and their students

(3) Trained Montessori guides looking to increase their knowledge and understanding of the pedagogy and align their practice with the authentic teachings of Dr. Montessori

A Note to Teachers

These albums offer the mechanics of giving lessons and insights into how and why to give each lesson. However, the essential theoretical guidance on human development and the deep perspective shift required of the adult is not included. That is typically offered as part of a teacher preparation course. You can read Dr. Montessori's texts but the best course to prepare yourself for working with young children is to enroll in a teacher preparation program.
