THE MONTESSORI METHOD OF TEACHING 

The Montessori Method stresses the development of initiative and self-reliance by permitting children 

to do by them the things that interest them, within strictly disciplined limits 

Montessori educational method of teaching is based on giving children freedom in a specially prepared 

environment, under the guidance of a trained director 

Under this method it is stressed that leaders of the classroom be called directors rather than teachers 

because  their  main  work  is  to  direct  the  interests  of  children  and  advance  their  development. 

According  to  Montessori,  when  a  child  is  ready  to  learn  new  and  more  difficult  tasks,  the  director 

should guide the child from the outset so that the child does not lose interest.
