Montessori (1870-1952) attended all boys technical school. First worked with developmentally disabled children where she soon saw children"s needs for productive, hands on work (observations) 2: educators were searching for more scientific methods of child development and education methods can be best understood by exploring key principles that guided her work: beliefs about children"s development vision of the teachers role. Practical life: self-care skills pouring, dressing, cleaning. Mathematics: geometric shape, forms, volume, numbers, blocks. Geography and cultural studies: maps, history, geography. Uninterrupted learning continuum for the child from the youngest age through adolescence. Shaped by a standardized practice that established a seamless consistency in approach across individual classrooms and up through the grade levels. Rigorously monitored and integrated teacher training that focuses on the developmental path of the child. Any school can call itself montessori, whether program is true to montessori"s philosophy r not. Montessori insisted that all programs use her prescribed method strictly.
