Goal of Montessori Education

The primary purpose of a Montessori education typically gets achieved in two ways in the classroom – the first, allowing the child to enjoy a hands-on experience of the available choices and second, helping to perfect the art of learning by means of natural tools available to a Montessori teacher. This dual long-range purpose of helping the child with specific information goes a long way in setting the right course for the kids in their formative years.

The goals to be achieved through a Montessori learning are as follows:

• Assist the child in his/her mental and physical abilities for appropriate working in the environment
• Giving the children the necessary freedom and responsibility that leads to security, creativity, and self-respect in turn resulting in cooperation and collaboration
• Creating a sense of independence, self-discipline, and sensitivity to the environment
• Educating the child with lessons and activities that are designed to promote development of social skills, physical coordination, and cognitive preparation
• Developing a sense of self-confidence
• Developing a positive attitude towards learning and school
• Forming extended habits of persistence, initiative, and concentration
• Awakening the sense of imagination in the child
• Encouraging the desire for high self-esteem and independence
• Helping the children learn how to question, explore, and observe ideas in an independent manner
• Freeing the child to pursue knowledge and skills that are most relevant to him or her at a pace that he/she feels most comfortable in
• Encouraging the inherent love of learning in the child

Every course for Montessori teacher training focuses on these key aspects of Montessori education. A facilitator needs to understand them well in order to aid in the learning process of the care-seeking kids.
