Barring being able to attend NAMTA/AMI's Orientation to Montessori Adolescent Studies, the primary foundation that the adult needs for working with the adolescent age:
- elementary training/experience of some sort because of the continuation of studies which adolescence builds upon
- primary training/experience of some sort because of the parallels of the first and third planes of development
At bare minimum:
- fully fleshed out theory albums at both levels
- cosmic education access at elementary
- read Childhood to Adolescence
- read all required primary and elementary reading selections
- observation at both earlier levels in a full Montessori environment
- Reflection on one's own adolescent experience and what could have been improved; what good should be maintained
In addition:
- NAMTA's adolescent reading list - found at the bottom of Montessori Nuggets Reading List Page
