From the Paper:

"Maria Montessori was a woman ahead of her time. She focused a great deal of attention on all aspects of her Montessori Method, from the classroom environment, to children's activities, to nutrition. Neither did she forget to discuss the role of the teacher in the classroom. As with any process that is nearly 100 years old, the methods that Montessori described have been modernized, although the elements of the teachers' role remain similar. "
