Celebrating 20 Years of Montessori Excellence
|
|
| Montessori | Traditional |
| Attention is focused on the child. | Attention is focused on the teacher. |
| Learning is at each individual child's pace. | Learning is at the group's pace. |
| The children are free to move about the classroom and interact with respect. | The children are expected to stay in their seats with little opportunity to socialize. |
| Children choose works they will do and thus become self-directed, self-motivated, and self-disciplined. | Teacher chooses the work; rewards and punishments serve as motivators. |
| Thousands of "hands on" concrete materials function as teachers and allow the child to self-correct. | System primarily uses books and testing. |
| Emphasis is on social development, peace education and conflict resolution. | Emphasis is on conformity. |
