Role of the Teacher in Montessori

The role of the adult in the classroom is to act as a guide, introducing new material to the child, and then retiring as the child begins to work. The child then teaches him/herself through his or her own repeated activity, discovery and observation. Each child is aided and directed by the Montessori teacher who is always ready to support and encourage the child, while at the same time respecting the child’s need for independent functioning.

“The child should love everything that he learns, for his mental and emotional growths are linked. Whatever is presented to him must be made beautiful and clear” – Maria Montessori
