The Marazon System -- A Truly Child-Centered Approach
Marazon Systems are developmentally appropriate planning and assessment systems that can
be used in a variety of educational and home settings. The Systems provide parents and
professionals with just the right tools to support and challenge children's growth, development
and learning in developmentally appropriate environments and using methods that meet the
needs of diverse learners. Marazon Systems help teachers and parents focus on describing and
celebrating children's assets as opposed to traditional approaches to educating children which
attempt to "fix” their perceived deficits.
The Systems invite professionals and parents to learn about children's interests and
developmental characteristics and then use the everyday curriculum (routines, activities,
experiences, materials, and environment) of the home, school, and community to support their
growth and learning based upon their interests and developmental needs.
