St. Jean-Baptiste de La Salle (1651β1719) is known for establishing schools for the poor, forming his teachers into a religious order (the de La Salle Brothers, or the Christian Brothers), and introducing educational innovations such as using studentsβ vernacular (local) languages instead of Latin during lessons and grouping students according to their ability and subject instead of giving them individual instruction.
