Instead of giving out what she has in herself, the teacher must bring out the full possibilities of the children. (Montessori)
At Another Way, the role of the adult is to facilitate each child's development by being the dynamic link between the Child and the Environment. The teacher must know the entire curriculum in order to prepare the environment - to provide the child with materials and experiences that awaken the consciousness and fire a passion for life and learning. The teacher is not the focus of attention; the child is not expected to meet the "average" or "mean" of the teacher.
