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
