Abstract/Notes: El aprendizaje de la lengua escrita produce un cambio cualitativo en el desarrollo de los procesos psicológicos del ser humano. La interacción con el complejo sistema de signos que ella constituye, le permite acceder a los niveles de simbolización y abstracción, mediante los cuales podrá desarrollar estrategias para dirigir su atención, organizar la memoria consciente y regular su conducta. En suma, alcanzar los procesos psicológicos más desarrollados. Es importante recordar que, la escritura es un proceso complementario de la lectura, ambos se necesitan continuamente. Es más competente como escritor una persona que tiene el hábito de leer frecuentemente, aunque se utilizan diferentes estrategias para realizar cada uno de estos dos procesos. El desafío de los docentes consiste en formar lectores que puedan producir textos escritos, coherentes, correctos, y adecuados, para lo cual, necesitan internalizar modelos textuales, a partir de la lectura Es así, como este estudio sobre la iniciación de la lectoescritura, que se realizará, representa un aporte para la comunidad estudiantil en el sentido de que significa un referente teórico para los docentes que ejercen en la primera etapa de Educación inicial, para consultar y verificar sus niveles de logro en función a la metodología para la enseñanza de la escritura que propone el enfoque Montessori conduciendo al niño o niña hacia el desarrollo integral y preparación natural.

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this qualitative research is to explore the implementation of the Montessori method in a middle school ascribed to the Puerto Rico Education Department, from the perspective of the school director and its teachers. It also identifies the challenges and the opportunities of changing from a traditional educational model to an innovative one. The methodology used for this research was the unique case study. The strategies used to gather and analyze the information were a semi structured interview with the school director, a focus group interview with six teachers and document analysis. The findings of the research emerging from the interview resulted in seven predominant categories: school retention, healthy school environment, the student as the center of the learning process, the school director’s role as promoter of educational changes, parents and community involvement and integration in the learning processes and the educational transformation that can occur within the Montessori method. This study reflects on the advantages of the Montessori method as an alternative to the traditional educational method. It also expands on the advantages of implementing this method in middle schools in Puerto Rico, on the school director as a key figure in the implementation and the advantages and opportunities of its school director. It also offers recommendations to the Puerto Rico Department of Education, the school visited, to academic school leadership programs and to future research in this area.
