A theory paper that gives a universal portrait of the "noble adolescent" directly quotes from Montessori. Pat Ludick defines the adolescent as they search for their future roles in a changing world, seek a happy life, form a compatible and collaborative personality, learn humility, and become aware of the head-heart duality. The teacher's role in the prepared adolescent environment is to bring out a stunning list of virtues. The Montessori educational syllabus shows how academic expectations are rooted in the character development that matures with meaningful socially oriented work, self-expression, and referencing to inner virtues. The more we see, the more bedazzling the adolescent's moral and spiritual development will appear.
