The Montessori Method (1912) is a work on pedagogy by Maria Montessori. Originally written in her native Italian to describe the work she carried out at the Casa dei Bambini in Rome, the book was translated into English during a period of increasing popularity for Montessori and her educational method in the United States. By 1913, over 100 Montessori schools had been opened in the United States, prompting the educator to travel to the country on a lecture tour in December that year. Today, there are thousands of schools and classrooms around the world dedicated to the use of her method. "All human victories, all human progress, stand upon the inner force. Thus a young student may become a great doctor if he is spurred to his study by an interest which makes medicine his real vocation. But if he works in the hope of an inheritance, or of making a desirable marriage, or if indeed he is inspired by any material advantage, he will never become a true master or a great doctor, and the world will never make one step forward because of his work." Through years of working with children as a physician and educator, Maria Montessori developed a unique method of scientific pedagogy emphasizing personal growth, individuality, psychology, and hands-on experience. First at her Casa dei Bambini and later at thousands of schools around the world, the Montessori method changed education for countless students and teachers alike, fostering understanding and respect without sacrificing the structures needed for children to grow into successful, confident adults. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Maria Montessori's The Montessori Method is a classic of pedagogical literature reimagined for modern readers.

Im Mittelpunkt des pädagogischen Denkens Maria Montessoris steht das Kind mit seinen grundlegenden Entwicklungsbedürfnissen und Aufbaukräften. Erziehung bedeutet für sie, dem Kind, dem Jugendlichen, dem Menschen überhaupt Hilfe zu leisten beim Selbstaufbau seiner Persönlichkeit. Die Texte dieses kleinen Bandes können als Einführung in die Pädagogik Maria Montessoris dienen. Der erste ist ein umfassender Artikel, den Montessori eigens für ein 1934 erschienenes deutsches Handbuch verfasst hat. Der zweite Text erschien 1942 in Indien.

Das Kind hat Anspruch auf Respektierung und Förderung durch die Gesellschaft. Zum Ausdruck kommt dies u.a. in den "Kinderrechten", wie sie die Vereinten Nationen in der 1990 in Kraft getretenen Kinderrechtskonvention formuliert haben. Montessoris Engagement für das Kind und seine Rechte hat große Bedeutung für die Vorbereitung und das Verständnis der Kinderrechte, die Sensibilisierung des öffentlichen Bewusstseins sowie ihre politische Umsetzung.

Maria Montessori war sich der Rolle der Eltern sehr bewusst. Dieses Buch besteht aus 11 bisher unveröffentlichten Vorträgen Maria Montessoris, in denen sie den Eltern eine einführende Erklärung ihrer Vision von Bildung gibt und ihnen erklärt, wie sie ihre eigene Rolle bei der Entwicklung ihres Kindes besser verstehen können. Die Beiträge haben eine Leichtigkeit im Ausdruck, die in Montessoris Werken normalerweise nicht zu finden ist.

Dieser Band sammelt Texte Maria Montessoris aus ihrem Spätwerk, die vor allem ihre Reformvorstellungen zur Sekundarschule und zur Universität enthalten, aber auch einige Beiträge zur Weiterentwicklung ihrer Grundschulkonzeption. Im Zentrum steht der Entwurf der Schule als einer »Erfahrungsschule des sozialen Lebens«, wie er im bekannten »Erdkinderplan«, der 1939 erstmals auf Englisch veröffentlicht wurde, zusammenfassend dargestellt wird.

The Mass Explained to Children presents the beauty, depth, and simplicity of the traditional Latin Mass, helping to make it easily understandable for any and every child. With acute sensitivity to the purity and clarity of a child's mind and soul, Maria Montessori wisely instructs in how to prepare for Mass, explains how the altar is set up, and clarifies the meaning and use of the sacred vessels and other elements used during Mass. She describes also the role of the priest, the use and symbolism of vestments, and much more. Then she proceeds-in refreshingly straightforward language, and with abundant illustrations-to follow the order of the Mass as it slowly unfolds in word and gesture. This is a sure guide to the beauties of the traditional Mass for children of all ages, and at the same time a wonderful primer for adults who want to deepen their understanding of the Mass of the Ages.
