The Montessori Teacher
The Montessori teacher, or guide, functions as a role model, demonstrator, record keeper, and meticulous observer of each student’s behavior and growth.
Like their students, they are active and curious learners. A delight in continual inquiry and growth and a respect for each child’s distinctive learning style and interests are among their key qualities.The Montessori teacher prepares the active, developmentally appropriate learning environment, furnished with specially designed materials, where students explore, discover, and experience the joy of learning.
