Thoughts on Daily Preparation Routines for the Montessori Preschool Environment: After School Planning
Essentially, it is the responsibility of each Montessori teacher to carefully observe each student in order to assess the academic strengths and abilities of each, and to present materials accordingly. Follow the child and present the learning activities that are conducive to the child’s changing needs; this is how the Montessori educator ensures the child’s success in every step of his/her development, and fosters a lifelong love of learning.A critical element of the observation and evaluation process is taking clear notes with regard to the child’s progress. This is also an important part of the Montessori teacher’s daily preparation. I jot down notes throughout each day as to what I present. At the end of each day, I record my notes on my NAMC record-keeping sheets.* This helps to clearly identify those students with whom I have not yet worked. I then prepare to work with those children the following day.
In Part 2 of this series, I will describe the unique scheduling system that we created for our Montessori 3-6 environment.
