Online magazine Mental_floss publishes an interesting article about 5 alternative teaching methods which are widely used in XXI century. Read the article to learn about:
- Montessori who believed that children were born with absorbent minds and were fully capable of self-directed learning;
-Waldorf / Steiner who believed there were three 7-year periods of child development with certain aspects should and should not be taught during each of these stages;
- Harkness who's method is based on a round table instead of specific curriculum or a particular ideology;
- Reggio Emilia teaching which emphasizes the importance of parents taking an active role in their child's early education;
- Sudbury philosophy which believes students are capable of assuming a certain level of responsibility and of making sound decisions.
Is there anything in these methods you can apply in your classroom?
