Rethinking Traditional Montessori curriculum
Rethinking Traditional Montessori curriculum
I am a Montessori teacher who consistently saw the need for more structured project based learning. My work offers hands on and easy to implement project based activities to elevate your classroom experience.
New (or not so new) Montessori teachers: why would you want to invest in a fully written lesson plan when you have 9 albums that you can "easily" use to create them on your own?
I know I thought the same thing when I first started out. I felt very proud of my Montessori education as a Primary teacher. The training made is seem like a seamless transition to beginning the journey in the classroom. Then I met met with behaviors of children not designed to be in a Montessori classroom. Parents who were more demanding than supportive. Administration who wanted more from me than I was trained to deliver. And Assistants who wanted to help but felt just as overwhelmed as I did.

Q #1- Do I need Montessori Training to Teach these lesson plans?
A- It is ideal to have gone through a Montessori training. The lesson plans DO NOT offer the detailed step by step lessons found in the Montessori Albums. I have worked in both Montessori and Charter School settings and these guides have been successful in both settings. Teacher in other educational settings have used these with much success.
Q #2- How is the Peace Curriculum introduced?
A- Peace is presented throughout the entire curriculum through books, projects, conversations and service projects.
The peace curriculum also includes the Grace & Courtesy lessons.
Q #3- Are the songs, poems, and fingerplays in the guides?
A- Most of the songs are in the guides or links are listed for your reference. Other songs have the words given and a note to put to a familiar melody.
Q #4- Do you give group lessons?
A- This is left entirely up to the person using the guides. Schools where I have been use some initial group lessons in combination with individual lessons. In my experience, children observe better in a group. Whether group or individual, a lesson is given in such a way to entice the child into the process of the work, using words only if they are a part of the lesson with slight exaggeration of movements. A gentle and positive manner of the teacher makes a huge difference in the receptiveness of the children, whether it is a group lesson or an individual one. It also depends on the lesson being given as some are for use in small groups.
