WHAT IS MONTESSORI EDUCATION?
Montessori education is a approach in learning & teaching which gives importance to independent learning from a freedom environment. It concentrates on a child’s physical , mental & social development. We all know that each & every child is unique. So as a Montessori teacher we have to find out the skills in children, help them to find out themselves. We want to apply sense orientation method and diverting to aptitude method in them to make it successful. We need to make and maintain a good rapport with them. This course help us to learn the importance of rapport making with others, especially with children. Through this we can make confidence in them. It enables them to do everything and face the challenges in life and moreover they will be ready to face the world. A Montessori Teacher has great role in building the strong foundation for the future of each and every child that they are dealing with. In Montessori education we are not teachers. We are the facilitators, guide and supporter for kids.
