Maria Montessori Her Life and Work E M Standing Books Reviews

• This is my favorite book about Dr. Montessori by far. She served as such an inspiration to people who want to live Montessori out loud! It's very unfortunate more people don't know about this method and that it truly works! I am a Montessori Directress and I have taught traditionally as well. Let's just say I'll never go back to traditional teaching. God has made these children and as if we need to feel some type of accomplishment by investing in them.... No, God doesn't create emptiness its up to us as the Montessori parent or educator to allow God to show us through the child what we can learn from them!
• I had previously read another book about the Montessori method, and also the English translation of "The Montessori Method".
  
  But only this authorized biography by standing gives a good picture of how important, and how influential she was.
  
  Montessori(1870-1952)was an extremely attractive, intelligent, and complicated person. Although she claimed to be only interested in "the child", and not at all in politics, her writings are shot full of socialist and pacifist ideas. She believed her education methods,through "the child's self directed manual activities" would abolish such tendencies as selfishness, acquisitiveness and the desire for status.
  
  Montessori also claimed in was a great mistake for people to assume that her insistence on the child's "freedom" dis not equate with a lack of discipline. Quite to the contrary, she insisted the teacher's (or "directress's")responsibility was to "destroy evil" in the classroom. And what is "evil"?
  
  Of course, "evil" is anything contrary to Montessori's personal belief.
  
  But Maria Montessori also had some wonderful educational ideas. She believed in "epochs of sensitivity" during which opportunities for the acquisition of certain skills could be most advantageously instilled. She believed the best time to teach literacy was from age 3 1/2 to 4 1/2, and that writing led automatically to reading. She turned out to be right about this, and also said that "absolute musical pitch" could also easily be acquired at the same ages. No one has ever prooved this to be true, so I think I'll do so.

• This book was more of a biography, and the print was much too small for my eyes. The book did start to detail how Maria intertwined her medical practice with that of observing how young children learned, but all her findings were more from a physician perspective examining a patient while studying the brain. I wanted classroom methodology.
• Very very outdated writing. More a rambling than a biography. I was hoping to learn more about the pedagogy behind the Montessori approach as I research school options for my child...but this was not the right book to learn about her work.
• A Legend and Gift to Quality Education
• Instructive as well as biographical. Excellent preparation for Catachesis of the Good Shepard study.
• I sent this to my daughter as a good read about Maria Montessori. Interesting book and lots of information about Maria Montessori.
• good
