Storm noise disturbed pioneering educator (10)

I believe the answer is:

montessori

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pioneering educator' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'storm noise disturbed' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' indicates anagramming the letters (the order of letters is disturbed).
'storm'+'noise'='stormnoise'
'stormnoise' with letters rearranged gives 'MONTESSORI'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for montessori that I've seen is " education expert".)
