Montessori education focuses on observing and following children in their activity choices; giving students the freedom to explore their interests is one of many ways to encourage independence and a love of learning. However, as a Montessori teacher, occasionally you may observe that a particular child is having difficulty actually choosing and completing an activity.
In this video blog produced by NAMC, we explore classroom and time management strategies based on a NAMC Tutor’s real-life classroom experience. If you have noticed that one of your students spends a large amount of time wandering, but very little working on activities, it may be that he was never shown how to work. We hope these insights on helping students with Time Management will be useful to you on your Montessori journey.
