Montessori TEP Instructor

The Montessori Education Center of the Rockies (MECR), located in Denver, Colorado, is expanding its community of experienced Montessori Teacher Educators.

MECR recognizes that each instructor contributes valuable experience, perspectives, and insights that reflect the identities of the adult learners it serves. The organization welcomes educators who are curious, creative, committed to lifelong learning, and eager to collaborate, reflect, and engage in ongoing discussions about identity, culture, and belonging in contemporary Montessori education.

MECR values humility, curiosity, and a willingness to learn alongside others. These qualities support a vibrant and evolving teaching community.

Since 1978, MECR has been a MACTE-accredited and AMS-affiliated Teacher Education Program. It prepares adults to advance authentic Montessori education and make it accessible to more children.

MECR’s in-person training program includes a summer intensive followed by seminars throughout the practicum year. Further information is available r.edu.

MECR instructors work as independent contractors and receive an hourly rate for instruction. Each instructor is responsible for reporting MECR income and business-related expenses, such as mileage, on Schedule C of their tax return. Preference will be given to applicants who live near the Teacher Education Program.

MECR appreciates educators’ service to children through the preparation of future Montessori Guides and welcomes their interest in joining its community.
