Similarities and differences between Montessori teachers and traditional teachers

Teacher Montessori's main job is to guide rather than teach children, and it is the link between the environment and children.

Because the Montessori education law is "child-centered", it is different from the traditional teacher-centered preschool education. Therefore, the teacher is no longer an authoritative role standing in front of the blackboard, shouting loudly and giving out numbers. He will not "instill" knowledge into children for the purpose of education, but will live in the objective position of "helping children grow up in life" and design and guide children to learn independently.

Through inspiration and induction, children will be willing to think freely and automatically, and their intelligence and physical fitness will continue to grow. Therefore, Mr. Montessori should be called "mentor".

Montessori is a practitioner, because she will turn idealization into methods and put them into practice; We also say that she is an educator and a scientist because she discovered the secret of her childhood through observation. This is the representative work of Montessori's theory, which finds the basis for children's education.

It is precisely because the "teaching aid" of Montessori's Practical Ideals and Methods is designed according to the "discovery of children" (Montessori's discovery of children is also a masterpiece), if the tutor does not understand this truth, he will guide the children invariably and mechanically.

On the contrary, it ignores children's internal needs, which leads to unreasonable and ineffective interventions and even harms children because of their growth laws and individual differences.
