Montessori is an approach to the education of children.
It is a way of looking at, and understanding, children. It is a view of how children develop and learn which has been translated into a systematic method of education based upon careful scientific study. In examining children, she felt that children were not achieving their potential, because education was not based upon science.
Montessori is an approach to education based upon the principle that schooling should work with the nature of the child instead of against it. Therefore, education should be based upon scientific study of the child and a resulting understanding of the processes of development and learning. Montessori schools are based upon the principle that the child, not the teacher, is the construction of man, and so of society.
Teacher can only help the great work that is being done.
The teacher’s job is to provide the materials and environment which will aid development and to be ready to respond when help is needed.
Education should no longer consist only of imparting knowledge, it must release human potentialities. If education is to be an aid to civilization,
it cannot be carried out by emptying the schools of knowledge, of character, of discipline, of social harmony, and above all of freedom.
Teaching to individuals instead of to groups Children learn through practicing tasks The Montessori curriculum is much broader than many other programs Montessori programs emphasize on self-discipline 5. The materials in a Montessori classroom are carefully designed Montessori teachers are trained to respect and positive values The Montessori method is done in positive manner The routine of the Montessori program is well-arranged and based on the principle of freedom
