Maria Montessori, the first female physician in Italy, observed in her medical practice how children learn—particularly from their environment.
She found that...
• We are all motivated by a natural curiosity and love of learning.
• Teachers should cultivate a student’s natural desire to learn.
Because of her influence and educational discoveries, Montessori teachers are...
• Child advocates who respect each child’s individuality.
• Facilitators who strive to educate the whole child.
Montessori classrooms are...
• Purposefully prepared environments.
• Learner centered.
• Developmentally appropriate.
• Equipped with self-correcting materials meant to engage young learners.
In a Montessori setting children are encouraged to...
• Explore and discover.
• Work independently at their own pace.
• Develop a sense of mastery and acomplishment.
