Abstract	When Daisy Han first encountered a Montessori classroom, she actually felt free. Free to move, free to create, free to explore, free to try, free to fail, free to be. This freedom is essential to becoming an innovator. Innovators possess an irreverence almost as big as their self-efficacy, both of which have been nurtured in an environment where it's cool to think outside of the box and failure is encouraged as a stepping-stone to success. Unfortunately, while many Montessori classrooms encourage this freedom and innovation for children, it is often not the reality for Montessori teacher training programs or adult learning programs in general. In sharp contrast to the Montessori classroom, teachers in training are expected to "do what I say, not what I do." She surmises perhaps it was her own unsatisfied craving for the education I did not receive that drove her to innovate a program that centers what adults need to feel free in their own learning experiences. In this article, she explores three key principles to raising innovators that she learned alongside some of her Montessori friends and role models: (1) get curious; (2) trust yourself to innovate your own solutions; and (3) commit to collaborative learning.
