Montessori teaching approach emphasizes heightening children learning ability where they are allowed to make their own choices. An increasing number of schools are offering Montessori in Singapore.
Here are some facts about Montessori education that will help you.
Personalized Curriculum
Rather than conducting group lessons, Montessori teachers give one-on-one learning sessions to every student depending on their specific education levels and needs. Since children work independently, they spend much of their school hours practicing and perfecting what their teacher has taught them during their lesson.
Freedom within limits
Montessori programmes encourage students to choose where they want to sit and what to be taught with the guidance from their teacher. Although kids will not be allowed to distract others while in class, he/she will decide whether to work on mathematics or English.
There are no grades
Students in Montessori schools work on their activities without the fear of performing well or poorly in their grades. On the contrary, they divide children based on their age group. This approach helps students learn from their peers and has been one of the most impactful ways of learning.
Round-shaped Classroom
A Montessori teacher (usually referred to as a guide) should have a 360-degree view of all the children. Rather than standing in front of the classroom, giving instructions, teachers assist students in their activities on a one-on-one basis.
Students excel in a positive independent environment where they can choose what to learn at their speed. This explains why Montessori teaching is becoming more popular in Singapore.
