  2. Maria Montessori Her goal through education was to raise a generation of people who would work to promote world peace  “If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.”

  3. Whole Child The Montessori approach provides a superior education, but is really designed to support the development of the human being.

  4. Components of Montessori Chief Components • Independence • Self-motivation • Respect and love for life • Education for Life Important Supporting Components • Role of the adult • Role of the environment “Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world”

  5. Education for Life Education comes from the Latin words educare, meaning to “bring up” and ducere, meaning “to lead.” We are raising, “bringing up” these children to be successful in all aspects of life and to develop and sustain a love for learning.

  6. Role of the Environment Preparation of the environment is extremely important in providing Education for Life. Classrooms are designed to foster engagement, independence and self correction.

  7. Environment Beautiful and Orderly

  10. Environment Specifically designed materials to help children explore their world, understand concepts and develop essential cognitive skills.

  11. Role of the Adult The role of the adult is dynamic and requires a comprehensive understanding of the sensitive periods and planes of development. The adults in a Montessori environment must know how to guide and lead while fostering independent thinking and self direction.

  20. Sensorial Helps children develop acuity within the five senses, and also helps them organize their intelligences

  21. Primary Language Sandpaper letters Object boxes Metal Insets Chalkboard Moveable Alphabet Reading

  22. Primary Mathematics Numbers 1 – 10 Connecting symbol to quantity Teens Hundreds Board Golden Beads Bank Game Other * Concrete materials

  23. Cultural - Puzzle maps - Cultural folders - Geometry cabinet - Botany cabinet - Zoology - Nomenclature
