Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential resource for all students and scholars of early childhood education, this book offers a rich array of material about Maria Montessori and the Montessori Method. Distinguished education scholar Gerald Gutek begins with an in-depth biography of Montessori, exploring how a determined young woman overcame the obstacles that blocked her educational and career opportunities in Italy during the late Victorian age. The author then analyzes the sources and influences that shaped the Montessori philosophy of education. After laying the foundation for Montessori's development, Gutek presents an annotated and abridged edition of The Montessori Method (1912), the seminal work that introduced her educational innovations to a U.S. audience. The book concludes with key historical documents, including disciple Anne E. George's notes on the Montessori lectures and William H. Kilpatrick's critique of the Montessori method. Preserving the historical context of Montessori's contribution, Gutek also shows the continuing relevance of her thought to educational reform in the twenty-first century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Montessori: A Modern Approach has been called the single best book for anyone -- educator, childcare professional, and especially parent -- seeking answers to the questions: What is the Montessori method? Are its revolutionary ideas about early childhood education relevant to today's world? And most important, especially for today's dual-career couples. Is a Montessori education right for my child? Paula Polk Lillard writes both as a trained educators and as a concerned parent -- she has many years as a public school teacher, but it was her enthusiasm for the education her own child experienced in a Montessori school that led her to become a leading voice in the Montessori movement in this country. Her book offers the clearest and most concise statement of the Montessori method of child development and education available today.

Download or read book Montessori Comes to America written by Phyllis Povell and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2009-12-22 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What role did women's leadership play in the introduction and revival of the Montessori Method in America? Phyllis Povell explores this question through the contributions of Maria Montessori and Nancy McCormick Rambusch, who brought the Montessori Method to the American educational scene. Introduced to the U. S. in the early 20th century by Montessori herself, the Method lapsed into oblivion after WWI. Thanks to Rambusch, it was reborn after the launching of Sputnik. In Montessori Comes to America, Povell traces the evolution of women's leadership and its influence on the Montessori Method's development. She includes insights from her own formative years, showing how childhood, education and career all shape women into leaders. New research not only illuminates the unique roles of two historic early childhood educators, but also updates the historical record and reveals the human dimension behind one of the most colorful chapters in American educational development.

This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Montessori System of Child Culture, 1913: A Report One of the functions of a state department of education is to gather and disseminate educational information. In truth, though other duties and wider responsibility have been committed to this divis ion of the people's government in school law and administration, state offices of education were established primarily to investigate and make known educational conditions, activities and results. Such service, as a necessary condition of public knowledge and educational improvement, includes not only regular surveys of a state's entire educational enterprise, but also special studies of successful practices and important movements in education, both within and without the state. Educational progress in a state, depending upon popular support and cooperation, as well as upon the professional knowledge and technical skill of teachers, is promoted by a constant enlight enment of the public mind on important educational movements and successful educational experience elsewhere. The Board of Education has long recognized the responsibility of the department as a depository of educational information and has sought a knowl edge and true evaluation of significant educational activities else where, especially those adaptable to our own aims, conditions and needs. For this reason the Board could hardly neglect a study of the remarkable work of Dr. Maria Montessori in Italy. The early approval of trained teachers and professional students showed clearly that the Montessori system of child culture deserves the consideration of all those who have charge of the school education of children. The real and widespread interest awakened in America and other countries and the astonishing attention accorded to popular expositions of the system were followed by hurried attempts to estab lish Montessori schools, sometimes without adequate knowledge of aims, methods and principles involved or full appreciation of their adaptability to our conditions and needs.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Women's Education in the United States written by Linda Eisenmann and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1998-07-17 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of women's education in the United States presents a continuous effort to move from the periphery to the mainstream, and this book examines both formal and informal opportunities for girls and women. Through an introductory essay and nearly 250 alphabetically arranged entries, this reference book examines institutions, persons, ideas, events, and movements in the history of women's education in the United States. The volume spans the colonial era to the present, exploring settings from formal institutions such as schools and colleges to informal associations such as suffrage groups and reform organizations where women gained skills and used knowledge. A full picture of women's educational history presents their work in mainstream institutions, sex-segregated schools, and informal organizations that served as alternative educational settings. Educational history varies greatly for women of different races, classes, and ethnicities. The experience of some groups has been well documented. Thus entries on the Seven Sisters women's colleges and the reform organizations of the Progressive Era convey wide historical detail. Other women have been studied only recently. Thus entries on African American school founders or women teachers present considerable new information that scholars interpret against a wider context. Finally, some women's history has yet to be adequately explored. Hispanic American women and Catholic teaching sisters are discussed in entries that highlight historical questions still remaining. Each entry is written by an expert contributor and concludes with a brief bibliography. The volume closes with a timeline of women's educational history and a list of important general works for further reading.
