Inhaltsangabe

The Montessori method is characterized by an emphasis on self-directed activity on the part of the child and clinical observation on the part of the teacher. It stresses the importance of adapting the child's learning environment to his or her developmental level, and of the role of physical activity in absorbing abstract concepts and practical skills. The Montessori method teaches reading via phonics and whole language, the comparative benefits of which are currently being recognized. To all educators this book should prove most interesting. All who are fair-minded will admit the genius that shines from the pages which follow, and the remarkable suggestiveness of Dr. Montessori's labors.-Henry W. Holmes

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Maria Montessori (1870-1952) was an Italian physician, educator, and pioneer in the field of early childhood education. After becoming one of the first female physicians in Italy, Montessori devoted her work to understanding how children learn and develop. Her observations led to the creation of the Montessori method, an educational system based on independence, sensory learning, and respect for the natural development of the child. Montessori schools spread rapidly across Europe and the United States during the twentieth century, and her ideas continue to influence educational practice worldwide.
