About her life:

-She was a woman who faced difficulties and was the first in education. She entered medical major as one of the first women in Italy and the first woman to study at the University of Rome, but she faced racism and a great challenge while studying because previously at that time learning medicine was restricted to males, but she succeeded in the field of medicine and this is what distinguishes her. She loves challenges very much and loves learning, and despite all the challenges, she was able to succeed in the field of studying medicine.

After studying medicine, she began caring for children with special needs and created a new curriculum and methods for teaching them and giving them the right to learn. She was one of the first women to create a new curriculum based on learning through play that allows students to develop their emotional, thinking, and social aspects, and then because of their astonishment, they achieved progress in their opportunity.

Maria Montessori possessed many skills that would enable her to be an effective leadership in the field of education, and this is what I noticed in her very important achievements in education.(Very ambitious) Maria's early medical practice focused on psychiatry and later developed education (facing challenges) in educational theories and new methods for developing students with special needs, especially mental disabilities. She was appointed director In 1900 she trained in an institute. She was able to change from a child with special needs to a student with special needs, so that she could then, due to (perseverance), 1907 she had to own her school. (casa dei bambini) mean child's home for 3–7-year olds. . She was very (fair). Punishment or reinforcement methods were not used with the students. It focused on making students grow emotionally, socially, intellectually, and physically. Maria was able to (solve the problem) of integrating students with special needs with normal students. She solved this problem by applying a new curriculum based on strengthening students and developing their social and educational skills. This was done by developing a positive educational environment that supported them, and education was through activities. She was (positive in thinking) about changing the lives of students with special needs into educated and cultured students, through her insistence on facing the challenges of integrating and teaching them with normal students through different educational means, she was successful, and now many schools and her curriculum are used in many schools around the world.

Cooperation: As a leader, cooperation between the group is very important to help the team I work with because it provides the opportunity to overcome difficulties, understand each person’s point of view, and agree to facilitate work and speed up completion. For example, as a teacher, I encourage students to cooperate, and to continue doing so, I develop activities. Such as Maria Montessori activities, which give students the opportunity to work in a group. also as a teacher, I always want to encourage students to acquire important skills in life and education, and also to create a positive environment in which everything the student needs is available to support him in the classroom, and to enable students to persevere, try, and succeed, and to constantly think about researching and exploring all the information that students need, because that will be important in Increasing their self-confidence and acquiring the skills of research, exploration, and assuming responsibility will allow the student to feel confident when starting to solve problems within the classroom. I also focus on increasing social communication within the classroom among students and encouraging them to communicate positively to support each other in attempts. All of this constitutes awareness in an environment full of achievements. Solving problems to know students’ needs and overcoming academic or social difficulties, in addition to listening to them to enable students to feel comfortable with the teacher and have positive energy within the classroom.

All this in order to understand the needs of students and provide them with the opportunity to transfer multiple skills, including teaching, communication, and thinking. As a teacher, I have a great sense of responsibility towards communicating information and educational goals to students, as well as encouraging them in their lives and giving them the opportunity to acquire important student skills.

Time Management I can manage time and allocate time for myself and to plan for the future and daily life. I am also able to focus on the required tasks and accomplish them because of setting time for them.

According to Maria Montessori “Education is not something which the teacher does, but a natural process that develops spontaneously in the human being.”

Maria Montessori

From my point of view, I agree with this statement because the student must begin to rely on himself and develop his skills, and it is a natural process that develops when the student is given a space and a healthy environment through which the student can learn from his mistakes It also stimulates the student to have social contact between him and the students. This encourages cooperation and solidarity to create positivity in the classroom and encourages innovation and creativity in the student.

1- Functional Leadership Theories

First, determine the purpose of performing a particular task and plan it. Secondly, strategic planning that enables the team to move forward towards the goal, and adjust relationships within the work so that everyone can respect private spaces and facilitate the completion of work. As a teacher I see that the functional theory of leadership is very important for teachers because it gives them basic skills on the job. Practical behavior control as a teacher is the view that if I plan the lesson and use different strategies to explain the content of the lesson to students, this will enable me to achieve the learning outcomes and I will be able to enhance social communication between myself and myself. Students and cooperation between us.

The functional theory of leadership also stipulates understanding “what,” “why,” “where,” “when,” and “who,” which influences leaders in knowing how to collaborate and learning strategies to foster better relationships and collaboration between teams under leadership. Your leadership.

As a teacher, it benefits me and affects my leadership skills for the job because it enables me to acquire the necessary and basic skills for teaching students, relationships with teachers, and school administration.

2-Moral Leadership Theories

Bert Spector's piece article explained that the leader must have high morals, understand the cultural diversity revolving around him, be a planner, have the potential for many difficulties, and think ethically in solving these difficulties and challenges. Also, the leader often faces competition, which makes it difficult to adhere to ethical principles. However, although the leader must He tries to look at the problem wisely and not take hasty actions, but moral leadership is very important and attention to it comes through thinking, defining principles, self-control, and not rushing, so that the person can acquire these skills. Bert Spector's piece confirms in his article that it will be difficult, but it will provide great lessons.

I believe that, as a teacher, the teacher must have good morals because he is a role model for the students, and the student is also greatly influenced by the people around him. For example, with Maria Mozzuri’s curriculum, she supports social and positive communication between students and emphasizes the importance of communication between them, but from my point of view, I see that this does not happen when there are morals. The teacher and the students are good.

To enable the teacher to change the student’s behavior, the teacher’s behavior must be good, he must deal well with the students, and he must know how to direct them. For example, when I started training students, I encountered students who liked to sleep and did not like to do the tasks required of them, so I spoke to them and encouraged them with kind words. I did not yell at the students. I made them enjoy the semester with me by talking and discussing and finding out where the problem is and trying to solve it. This is something that many teachers face, so ethics are very important for leadership.

Similarities:-

1-Environment: The environment is very important for students because it provides them with a large space to learn and benefit from tools to support them while carrying out activities.

2-Social Communication: Maria Montessori and I focus on enhancing social communication among students because this develops control over their projects, working together to solve problems, and positive thinking.

3-Positive thinking: Giving students the space to undergo different experiences in classroom activities. This enables them to learn from mistakes and increases their spirit of challenge, perseverance, and positive thinking about trying and not giving up.

4- Cooperation: Maria Montessori focused on giving students freedom in the summer environment in choosing activities or moving between the corners of the classroom, in addition to cooperation and enhancing social communication. I also prefer the classroom to be a cooperative classroom with the teacher and the student and among the students. This increases confidence. Students relate to the teacher and increase their self-confidence.

Differences:-

1-Activities: I do not support that the classroom depend too much on activities and the different corners of the classroom like Montessori curriculum are very important, but I believe that exams and assignments are also important to enable the student to know their academic level, and it is useful for the teacher to know the levels of students in the classroom.

2-Explanation of the lesson: I believe that students need information explained by the teacher, especially in language lessons, to develop their language skills and improve their academic levels, not just relying on activities.

3-Different ages: Maria believes that teaching students with different levels and ages is normal because education is the same and involves multiple activities, but I do not agree with her because I believe that every stage of education differs in the students’ understanding and way of understanding the educational materials.

4-Self-directed: Maria Montessori she focuses on students Learning by themselves and guided them through their own way of choosing to learning but, I don’t agree with Maria because teachers should guide students to having clear rules and planning for lessons and students will get the best education in classroom.

1- accept mistakes: as a leader and teacher with students I do not accept mistakes, especially when I explain what is required of the lesson and clarify the difficult points. I do not prefer students to make mistakes, and it is a natural thing. I want to start accepting their mistakes as a point and an opportunity to teach them, and it is a natural learning process that every teacher always sees. I want to be like Maria Mentezri. she see accepting mistakes as an opportunity to learn, as mistakes are viewed as valuable educational experiences, and the teacher must provide support and assistance to learn and improve, and this is what I want to do in the future as a teacher and also in my daily life, and I know that this will pose a challenge, but the true leader is the one who faces these challenges.

2- Insistence: As a leader, I must be persistent in my decisions if they are very correct and affect my decision so that I can have the opportunity to change educational goals or develop correct plans and discuss them with managers to do them, as Maria Montessori did, as she insisted on completing her education and also insisted on being the first woman. An Italian woman studies medicine and is one of the first women to teach students. What I learned is that positive energy and determination are very important for a leader to be able to persevere and continue.
