What is the Montessori Method?
Dr. Montessori believed that children learn better when they’re choosing what to learn, and that philosophy is present in Montessori Methods today. A Montessori classroom likely looks different than what you’re used to.
Unique Features of Montessori Method
Various activity stations for children to choose from throughout the day Up to 30 students of varying ages interacting Teachers guiding children through activities instead of standing at the front of the classroom teaching at them Nontraditional grading system
Pros: Children learn independence Multiage classrooms help students learn from and support one another Children learn at their own pace Children are often more excited to learn because they’re learning about things in which they’re interested
Cons: Teachers may have trouble letting students pick their own activities Some students may not deal well with the lack of traditional classroom structure Students may have difficulty transitioning to a traditional classroom later The term “Montessori” is able to be used by anyone, whether the school is truly Montessori or not
