Abstract/Notes: People have become accustomed to the imprecision of language, though imprecise language has a subtle way of misguiding thoughts and actions. In this article, the author argues that the term "teacher" in reference to the Montessori practitioner is a distortion of everything Maria Montessori tried to undo about traditional education. In dealing with words and language precisely, one can arrive at all the rich connotations of the word "Montessorian." By so doing, the mind then possesses, with clarity and purpose, a greater understanding of one's role in the profession and in the classroom. Thus, by virtue of this clarity, Montessori teachers understand that their work is "not" a method, but a methodology; Montessori teachers remind themselves that their work is "science-based"; that as they respond to children's needs and their development, Montessori teachers can take pride as "professionals"; and that in their precise words of explanation to parents and the public, Montessori teachers do credit and service to the Montessori movement. Thus, the author contends that with precise language, with constant striving to refine methodologies, and with adherence to the highest standards of ethics, more and more children of the world will become beneficiaries of the rich meaning and vision that the words "Montessori" and "Montessorian" represent.
