Did you know that Montessori students have two or three year cycles with the same teacher? Students enjoy being in mixed age group experiences daily. They are continually being helped and challenged by older peers, but also becoming the leader and nurturer of younger peers.
In other schools, in September, students acclimate to a teacher and teachers learn the profiles of new students. This takes time and that comes at the expense of tailored instruction.
The Montessori “looping” ask us to imagine a September where everyone is already teaching and learning based upon meaningful understandings of a teacher’s expectations and a student’s strengths and needs.
It´s not only to have better teachers, strategies as “looping” help us to achieve significatn gains in math and reading performance. As several studies in North Carolina and Indiana has showed.
