"L'enseignant doit susciter non seulement la capacité mais le désir d'observer les phénomènes naturels. L'enseignant doit comprendre et sentir sa position d'observateur : l'activité doit résider dans le phénomène."
— Maria Montessori

Simplified Meaning:
A teacher needs to develop both the ability and the enthusiasm to watch and learn from the natural world. They should see themselves more as a keen observer rather than the main actor. This means letting the events or activities unfold on their own while paying close attention to what happens. For example, a good teacher watching children play should notice how they interact, learn, and solve problems without jumping in to direct everything. By quietly observing, the teacher can better understand the children's needs and strengths. This approach not only helps in learning effectively but also in nurturing curiosity and independence in students.
