The Montessori Method

Focusing on innovative pedagogy, Maria Montessori's work details her educational approach developed at the Casa dei Bambini in Rome. Emphasizing personal growth and hands-on experience, her method encourages individuality and psychological understanding in children. By 1913, her techniques had gained traction in the U.S., leading to the establishment of numerous Montessori schools. This classic text, now reimagined for modern readers, highlights the importance of intrinsic motivation in education, asserting that true mastery stems from genuine interest rather than material gain.
