    Saint John Baptist de La Salle was a French priest who pioneered modern education for ordinary children in the late 17th century. He insisted that children should be taught to read in their own language rather than in Latin. He also introduced teaching classes simultaneously rather than individually. De La Salle founded the first teacher training schools, wrote early manuals for teachers, and established the Christian Brothers order of teaching brothers. He developed many innovations in education that are still used today and is considered the Patron Saint of Teachers.
