Karl Justus Blochmann

Karl Justus Blochmann (19 February 1786, in Reichstädt – 31 May 1855) was a German educator known for being among the first to introduce the "Pestalozzi method" of education into Saxony.

From 1805 he studied theology in Leipzig. In 1809 he relocated to Switzerland, where he spent eight years teaching classes at Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi's institute in Yverdon-les-Bains. Pestalozzi's educational philosophy had a profound influence on Blochmann that lasted throughout his lifetime. Provided by Wikipedia
