Comments

Rachel Scheid: This is such a great guide if you’re looking to incorporate Montessori education for your child! It reads more like a text book in its technicalities but is easy to follow along and can help answer any questions you might have. I recommend getting The Montessori Baby by Simone Davies as an accompanying book.

Tatiana Gasanova: I recommend this book to anyone who's seeking inspiration for educating and teaching children. I found it better than the modern ones on the same topic, it's a mix of history, philosophy and practical manual.

Anyone, who is interesting in people who are in an absolute poverty, and would like to educate them, how to get out of it, please read Signora Monterossi's Method. This message is first and most of all to my fellow colleagues: teachers and professors.

Carolyn Wilhelm: An excerpt that shows she does not mince words!
"The situation would be very much the same if we should place a teacher who, according to our conception of the term, is scientifically prepared, in one of the public schools where the children are repressed in the spontaneous expression of their personality till they are almost like dead beings. In such a school the children, like butterflies mounted on pins, are fastened each to his place, the desk, spreading the useless wings of barren and meaningless knowledge which they have acquired. It is not enough, then, to prepare in our Masters the scientific spirit. We must also make ready the school for their observation. The school must permit the free, natural manifestations of the child if in the school scientific pedagogy is to be born. This is the essential reform."

caroline j macfarlane: This book is great form the point of view of content but it desperately needs an up to date translation.

L. Reynolds: The book itself is great, if challenging. It loses a star for the cheap binding of this edition. As soon as I opened the book, I was fearful of it falling apart. I would invest in a more expensive copy to this book. One whose manufacturer respected the book as the classic that it is.

Vladimir Kornea: Here, Maria Montessori introduces a scientific approach to pedagogy. The Montessori schools which she established and developed are intended for children three to seven years of age. The children are allowed as much freedom as possible and are provided with "didactic materials" which are various artifacts which they can use to educate themselves. They are supervised by a single directress whose primary task is to observe the children and direct their efforts by explaining to them how various didactic materials are used (it's very simple, but nothing is obvious to a young child). This book offers some valuable concete advice, but its primary use to me was as an introduction to the approach of scientific pedagogy. The basic premises as I understand them are that (1) children have a natural desire to learn and (2) one can learn how to live in freedom only by being free. These premises are fully supported and fleshed out in the book. The Montessori method achieved startling results, with four year old children (on average) learning to be masters of themselves, disciplined, benevolent, self-confident, and capable of reading and writing. Every educator should be familiar with Maria...
