Dr. Maria Montessori invented the Montessori Method more than 100 years ago. Maria was an Italian educator and doctor. She ended up organizing the Montessori Method of educating children and was also the first woman to earn a medical degree in 1894. The Montessori Method involves a child-centered educational approach and is based on scientific observations from birth to adulthood. Maria bases her approach with children on their natural learning tendencies. Maria Montessori was born in Chiaravalle in Italy in 1870. In 1896 she graduated in medicine and became the first woman doctor in Italy. She was an excellent doctor and became better known in her field by attending medical conferences around the world. I'm sure it was surprising to the other doctors to see her there and I'm sure she did well. She represented Italy and women in medicine throughout the world. Women like her paved the way for female doctors today. Before Montessori came along, many men and women probably thought that a woman couldn't be a doctor. While working in his medical practice, he became interested in how children develop and learn. He loved children and wanted to help them in any way he could. She saw many children in her work and felt a connection with them. He wanted to help them learn. He believed that children learn more and develop from what they find in their environment. This led her to become interested in seeing how a child's brain works and learns. She studied psychology and philosophy in 1901. She became a professor of anthropology in Rome in 1904. Dr. Montessori loved children very much, so in 1906 she abandoned medical practice to work with them. He developed what would become the... center of the card....... This makes the child more comfortable learning. Order and independence have helped many children learn and grow. In conclusion, the Montessori learning method has been very successful. Maria Montessori was an excellent teacher and her method was really useful. Educators remember her as a very important lover of children who did her work for them. His method challenges children to learn and develop. When I have a child I would put him in a Montessori school. I know he or she would learn well there. Maria Montessori was a woman who changed the world of learning. She is remembered every time a child graduates from a Montessori school.
