Did you know Montessori uses a different approach to grading and testing ? 📝📚

In Montessori education, the focus is not on grades, prizes, or frequent testing. Instead, teachers observe each child closely and assess growth through mastery of skills and concepts. ✅

This approach reduces pressure and comparison while encouraging students to take ownership of their learning and progress at a pace that is right for them; that’s why El Paso ISD offers FREE public Montessori options to El Paso’s families. 🌟
