The work period in a Montessori setting is uninterrupted which means that the students are allowed to work as per their own space without any serious interruption. A student can take his time, complete a particular activity, clean up the mess, and then start another activity. However, during the activity phase, the teachers provide all the relevant support to the students. This support is usually in the form of both group as well as individual lessons. The uninterrupted work period facilities basically result in the development of independence, coordination, assimilation of information, and concentration in the students.
