Montessori Behavioral Objectives
By Terri Sherrill
To develop healthy self-respect. This does not mean the same thing
as being selfish. It means be careful in your choices and do not
allow yourself to do things that are harmful or counter productive
to your well being. Educate yourself, discipline yourself, and prepare
yourself.
To develop respect for others and all living things.
To develop respect and recognition for the parents, teachers and
adults in their lives that work for their benefit and realize their
contribution and good intentions.
To understand the concept that they are members and contributors
of communities (familial, local and global) that sustain them.
To understand that their deeds have an impact, often not only on
themselves, but others as well.
To develop a love for learning. Begin to recognize and enjoy their
personal growth and appreciate who they are becoming as they learn
and grow.
To gain the ability for extended work time and concentration.
To understand that the more responsibly one behaves, the more freedom
one has.
To find that learning and pursuit of knowledge is one of life’s
greatest pleasures and that the act of living life to its fullest
in each moment is our greatest gift.
To realize that they were born with unique talents and strengths
and that their ability to live their authentic life, fulfilling
their potential and destiny, remains beautifully in tact.
