Six ways to carry what works further.
The pedagogy exists. The programme has run, year after year, in real communities. Independent evidence is beginning to accumulate. What the work needs now is people who will help it hold and grow.
Choose your way
Every way matters.
Some give. Some open doors. Some bring people together. Some bring CoRE to the communities they serve. All of it carries the work further.
03 · Visit
Come and see a prepared classroom.
The surest way to understand CoRE is to stand in a room it has changed: ordered shelves, materials within reach, children choosing their work, an adult who observes before she intervenes.
Visits are arranged with the team and with the centres concerned, and always put children's privacy and wellbeing first. Tell us who you are and what you hope to see, and we will find a time.
04 · Study
Carry the practice into your own community.
The Indaba Institute offers AMI Montessori diploma and certificate pathways and the EsF Community Rooted Education programme. CoRE graduates can progress, step by step, to training others. Speak with the Institute's admissions team about the next confirmed offering.
