Observation
Dr. Montessori was a scientist who spent countless hours observing her students. She watched carefully how each individual child responded to her environment. Following her example, each Montessori guide is meticulously trained to observe her class as a whole and the individuals within it. She keeps records and makes notes on the following things:
  • Student use and facility with the materials
  • Student awareness of the self-correcting aspects of the materials
  • Creativity and exhaustion of the possibilities with the materials
  • "Skipping steps," indicating readiness for the next level of presentations with the materials
  • Student enthusiasm and satisfaction
  • Repetition of activities
  • Success with the materials
  • Application of the concept outside of the use of the materials
