Montessori by Angeline Stoll Lillard5/18/2023 As the student progresses, the teacher introduces new material to ensure the level of challenge meets the student’s needs.Ī Montessori teacher serves as a role model, guide, demonstrator, and a conscientious observer and recorder of the student’s learning journey. Materials offer multiple levels of of challenge and can be used repeatedly at different developmental levels. Each material is presented to the student by the teacher and built into each one is a “control of error” which allows him or her to assess his or her individual progress and to work until the lesson is mastered. In a Montessori environment, students work with specially designed materials, which provides the student a learning path from concrete to abstraction. The classroom is carefully and thoughtfully prepared by the teacher with the child in mind to foster exploration, independence, freedom within limits, a sense of order, and harmony. The intellectual, emotional, social, physical and spiritual needs of a child are of equal importance.
