Maria Montessori was an Italian physician and educator who developed an innovative educational method known as the Montessori Method. Her method stressed observation, experimentation, and allowing students to make their own choices in the classroom, breaking from traditional teaching approaches. She believed that each child should be treated as an individual and given the freedom to develop naturally through their own efforts.
