According to Benedicte Bossute, Lead Teacher at the Montessori Elementary School of Bowling Green, What Is Montessori
Montessori is focused on functional independence such as potty training, holding onto things, washing hands, etc. Tasks build on one another as a student progresses. This requires close observation to see when a child is ready to attempt a new skill. Academics are insufficient to the whole child -- it's independence, concentration, capacity for sharing space, respecting other's space, etc.
