Maria Montessori, Italian educator and physician (her educational method is in use today in many public and private schools globally.)
Montessori is a method of education that is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play. In Montessori classrooms children make creative choices in their learning, while the classroom and the highly trained teacher offer age-appropriate activities to guide the process.
