A data model explicitly determines the structure of data. Data models are specified in a data modeling notation, which is often graphical in form. A data model can be sometimes referred to as a data structure, especially in the context of programming languages. Data models are often complemented by function models, especially in the context of enterprise models.
The Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), founded by Maria Montessori in 1929, maintains Montessori educational principles and disseminates Montessori education throughout the world.
The properly trained Montessori teacher is a child advocate. With careful observation, the teacher responds to the essential needs of the children. A child may repeat a certain activity over and over, reinforcing knowledge of the material.
