[quote=Anonymous] Maria Montessori, a doctor, pioneered the scientific method approach to education, and first made her observations on children with special needs and low-income children. The materials, when used in the right way, allow for self-correction, which is the basis of critical thinking. It is the bedrock of the Montessori method. As a scientist myself, I see how important this is to children's development. Teachers need training in this method, and command higher salaries than other preschool teachers. Beware of "Montessori" schools that do not follow the method. The name is not protected. I appreciate what my children's Montessori preschool taught my kids. My son has special needs, and made giant developmental leaps there and is taking AP and Honors classes in high school. My daughter and half of her Montessori Kindergarten class ended up in our county's gifted program. [/quote]
