Learning guides
The role of the teacher in Montessori education is a special one. Whereas in trTeam der Stufen 1-3aditional frontal school systems the teacher is a knowledge mediator, our teachers see themselves as learning guides. As observers, they continually weigh up with great sensitivity when to intervene in the learning processes of the individual pupils with impulses and when to take a step back so as not to disturb the pupils in the learning process.
Individual observation and documentation are just as much a part of the classic tasks as the introduction to new learning materials or the design of the prepared environment. However, the most important task of the learning guide is to adopt the right attitude. The attitude we require is to treat children as equals, to show them respect and dignity and to have fundamental trust in their ability to develop and make decisions.
"The teacher's attitude must always remain one of love. The child comes first, and the teacher follows and supports him. (...) He must become passive so that the child can become active. He must give the child the freedom to express himself, for there is no greater obstacle to the development of the child's personality than an adult who stands against the child with all his superior strength" (Maria Montessori).
In addition to the first and second state examinations, the majority of our learning guides have a Montessori diploma or the teachers are in the process of acquiring one while working.
