Maria Montessori (August 31, 1870 – May 6, 1952)

Maria Montessori is best known for her innovative method of educating children from birth to adolescence. Her philosophy is still in use today in a large number of public as well as private schools throughout the world. The essence of the Montessori method consists of teaching students ways to develop their own skills at a pace they set for themselves.
