montessori
Meaning: An educational approach developed by Maria Montessori that emphasises child-led learning, hands-on activities, and mixed-age classrooms with specially designed materials.
The Montessori method is based on the principle that children learn best when they are free to choose their own activities within a prepared environment. Key features include self-correcting materials, uninterrupted work periods, and the role of the teacher as a guide rather than an instructor. Montessori schools exist worldwide, from nursery through secondary level. The approach is particularly popular for early years education and is associated with fostering independence and intrinsic motivation.
