The Human Tendencies: a framework for Montessori Assessment

Lynda Apostol

Description

At the core of the Montessori philosophy is the understanding that all people have an innate set of human tendencies which exist from birth and continue to motivate human development and behavior for the remainder of an individual’s life. In guiding the child on their journey of self-construction, having an intimate understanding of the Montessori Human Tendencies and how they operate within the child supports us as parents and guides in identifying the child’s needs. The Montessori Human Tendencies serve as a framework to guide us in effectively preparing an environment for learning that can reliably depend on the spontaneous activity of the child – just as Dr. Montessori intended. Learn what the human tendencies are, how to effectively assess them and how they can translate into the prepared environment.
