Mistakes in Montessori: Guiding Young Children Down the Path to Self-Correction
Sat, April 10, 2:30 to 4:00pm EDT (2:30 to 4:00pm EDT), SIG Sessions, SIG-Montessori Education Paper and Symposium SessionsAbstract
Montessori classrooms offer a unique take on the role of mistakes in learning. This portraiture study leverages in-depth observations of classroom instruction to articulate how one Children’s House teacher responds to her students’ mistakes during real-time, child-teacher instructional interactions. The results illustrate how both the Montessori philosophy and the teacher herself promote personalized support for the development of the whole child and set children up for self-correction while engaged in classroom activities.
