Montessori Four Planes of Development
Dr. Montessori established a view of child development that looks at their growth in six year increments. She called these ‘planes’ of development. Each plane of development has particular characteristics, sensitive periods and independence goals. This event is designed to offer an overview of the planes of development, with a particular focus on the plane(s) in our school. (You can tailor this presentation to emphasize your school’s population and the way you serve their developmental needs.) The handout is a document that shows the four planes of development in a table, so everyone is able to see how each plane relates to the others. This is particularly helpful if you have children of various ages, who may be in different planes of development.
