Cedar Valley Montessori 2010-2011 Staff Members
Dr. Montessori always referred to the teacher as the "Directress" and her role differs considerably from that of a traditional teacher. Instead of using a prepared curriculum, the Directress and her assistant observe individual interests and demonstrate the correct use of materials. One of her primary tasks is careful observation of each child in order to determine his needs and to gain the knowledge she needs in preparing the environment, to aid his growth. Her method of teaching is indirect in that she neither imposes upon the child, as in direct teaching, nor abandons him in a nondirective, permissive approach. Further, she is constantly alert to the direction in which the child himself has indicated he wishes to go and she actively seeks ways to help him accomplish his goals.
