As a teacher at Macomb Montessori Academy, I've seen firsthand how Montessori and Common Core can not only coexist but actually complement each other.
Here's how we bridge the gap:
Challenges? Of course! Standardized testing can be a hurdle. But we incorporate formative assessments and project-based learning to measure progress without compromising Montessori principles.
My Journey, Their Voices:
I've learned so much from my MMA kids. They've taught me the importance of connection, flexibility, and truly seeing each child as an individual.
Looking Ahead:
Montessori in the 21st century is about finding a balance. By embracing the strengths of both Montessori and Common Core, we can provide a well-rounded education that prepares students for success.
