Summary
One hundred and ten years ago, Maria Montessori, the first female physician in Italy, devised a very different method of educating children, based on her observations of how they naturally learn. In Montessori, Angeline Stoll Lillard shows that science has finally caught up with Maria Montessori. Lillard presents the research behind nine insights that are foundations of Montessori education, describing how each of these insights is applied in the Montessori classroom. In listening to this book, parents and teachers alike will develop a clear understanding of what happens in a Montessori classroom and, more importantly, why it happens and why it works. Lillard explains the scientific basis for Montessori's system and the distinctions between practices in traditional, "Montessomething", and authentic Montessori education.
Furthermore, in this new edition, she presents recent studies showing evidence that this alternative to traditional schooling does indeed make a difference. Montessori is indispensable for anyone interested in teaching, training, or considering Montessori schooling, in developmental psychology, or in understanding about human learning and education overall.

Fantastic book
It's a very well researched book. I'm so glad someone has done such a thorough research into Montessori.

So, so, so dry
A great example on how not to proceed, if the aim is to make learning engaging.
No vivid imagery, only the most unenthusiastic examples given. No sense of conveying why the words spoken are even important. Like an input-output recipe written by a administrative middle manager, it makes children and their expansive world seem somehow … small.
