Course Description

Credit Validation for the Montessori Institute of San Diego (MISD)

This course will introduce the student to the group of exercises known in Montessori education as Practical Life. We will explore their function in the development of the child, with particular emphasis on how they promote concentration and prepare the child for later activities. Focus will be on understanding how interest, attention, concentration and independence are fostered by these exercises, in relation to the child’s immediate environment as well as the larger society in which he lives. Attention will also be given to activities which invite the child to practice social etiquette.
