Montessori Teachers are called Guides. Instead of teaching the students how to complete a work, they show the children how to use the materials and guide them in a way that empowers them to self-discover. Through this method, the child develops critical self-thinking and problem-solving skills, along with many benefits that follow an empowered child.
