This updated classic by Maria Montessori's closest collaborator reveals the inspirations behind the greatest educational innovator of all time Maria Montessori is important background reading for parents considering Montessori education for their children, as well as for those training to become Montessori teachers. The first woman to win a degree as a Doctor of Medicine in Italy in 1896, Maria Montessori's mission to improve children's education began in the slums of Rome in 1907, and continued throughout her lifetime. Her insights into the minds of children led her to develop prepared environments and other tools and devices that have come to characterize Montessori education today. Her influence in other countries has been profound and many of her teaching methods have been adopted by educators generally. Part biography and part exposition of her ideas, this engaging book reveals through her letters and personal diaries Maria Montessori's humility and delight in the success of her educational experiments and is an ideal introduction to the principals and practices of the greatest educational pioneer of the 20th century. -- The new introduction to "Maria Montessori: Her Life and Work" by Lee Havis, executive director of the International Montessori Society, discusses the changes that have taken place in Montessori education within recent years. -- An updated appendix of Montessori periodicals, courses, societies, films, and teaching materials. -- A revised bibliography of books by and about Maria Montessori.
