Montessori
Essential Policies and Useful Details for Students and Parents
Montessori system is awkwardly being misinterpreted among us. Many of us think it as a mere preprimary school teacher-training program. But it is an effective and the most successful method to train children from two and half year old to twelve year old children.
Its founder was an Italian physician and educator, Dr.Maria Montessori, best known for the philosophy of education that bears her name. She called for not just observation and measurement of students, but for the development of new method which would transform them. In this system children learn the value of independence. This makes them capable of making the right decision and seeking knowledge by themselves. Also they learn to support and help each other which builds a sense of responsibility.
It is entirely different from the concept of traditional teacher student class room with text book, timetable, sitting chairs etc...
By focusing on multiple activities with different paces for every child, Montessori helps to build leadership, coordination and concentration skills. There is a lot of freedom for the students to pick their own activities but they are all performed with specified parameters. Teachers are only there to guide the children through the activities. Students are also taught in a family based environment and it gives them the support to seek knowledge by themselves.
Montessori directress acts as one of them and makes chapters in accordance with the capacity of each child.
Play way method is suggested for all the subjects especially for math.
Child can learn better through fun games. Montissori has devised methodology for teaching higher classes also. So this system prevalent in developed countries is getting attention in India also.
