Observation is an integral and ongoing part of a Montessori teacher's work. Observing without judgment is one of the most vital teaching tools we have to "follow the child, " recognize her needs, and assist her in finding her strengths and capabilities. Observation is a critical component of lesson planning and classroom management. When the teacher observes that a student has mastered a concept or skill, she can introduce new lessons.

Observing Work Engagment: Primary

I noticed...

Many students working in Practical Life & Sensorial
An eagerness, amongst some children to work together

I wonder...

What explains the interest in some aspects of the classroom (materials) more than others?
How is a child's progression with a material, series, and/or concept being monitored?
