- The Montessori
method is an educational method for children, based on theories of child
development originated by Italian educator Maria Montessori in the late
19th and early 20th century.
- It is applied
primarily in preschool and elementary school settings, though some
Montessori high schools exist.
- The method is
characterized by an emphasis on self-directed activity on the part of
the child and clinical observation on the part of the
teacher.
- It stresses the
importance of adapting the child's learning environment to his or her
developmental level, and of the role of physical activity in absorbing
academic concepts and practical skills.
- It is also
characterized by the use of autodidactic (self-correcting) equipment to
introduce various concepts.
- Although there are
many schools which use the name "Montessori," the word itself is not
recognized as a trademark, nor is it associated with a single specific
organization.
- The Montessori
philosophy is built upon the idea that children develop and think
differently from adults; that they are not merely "adults in small
bodies".
- The Montessori
method discourages traditional measurements of achievement (grades,
tests) under the premise that it is damaging to the inner growth of
children (and adults).
- Currently, the
United States is the only country in the world to have an extensive
commitment to the Montessori Philosophy. With over 8,000 Montessori
schools, the U.S. significantly leads the other three major demographics
in the world - the United Kingdom, Germany and Australia.
