	Maria Montessori
		Montessori also found that children of all ages thrived when they were given the opportunity to experience mastery of real life skills and knowledge that was appropriate to their age and stage of life.
		Above all, Montessori felt her most significant discovery was the awareness that it is the teacher who must pay rapt attention to the students, not the other way around -- a notion utterly contrary to the expectations of her day.
		Montessori herself felt that the crucial ingredient was learning to be a good observer of children, learning to deduce and intuit what children need, both in general and as unique individuals, in order to develop to their fullest potential.
