Why are the teachers called Directors?
The teacher is called a Director because her role differs considerably from that of a traditional teacher. She observes the individual interests and needs of each child and her daily work proceeds from her observations rather than from a prepared curriculum. She demonstrates the correct use of materials and carefully monitors the progress of each child. She recognises periods of readiness, encourages a hesitant child and diverts a child who chooses material beyond his ability. She allows development to continue without unnecessary interference.
