Montessori educators are often referred to as guides rather than teachers, reflecting the distinctive philosophy of the Montessori approach. This term emphasizes their role in facilitating a child's learning journey rather than instructing in a traditional sense. Guides in the Montessori setting prioritize fostering independence, self-directed learning, and a sense of discovery within each child. They serve as mentors, observers, and facilitators, aiming to inspire a lifelong love for learning and exploration. This shift in terminology underscores the focus on empowering students to take an active role in their education, guiding them toward their individualized path of development and growth.
