Montessori in the Classroom: A Teacher's Account of How Children Really Learn Paperback – August 19, 1997

Although Maria Montessori's own writings give a lot of useful information on practicing the Montessori method; this one is written by a contemporary Montessori teacher; writing about her school days, what happens in the classroom, how she practices the methods and uses the materials, reflecting on her teaching... There are lots of very useful tips that can save you weeks of planning and thinking.The author has done a great service, is honest, thoughtful and full of compassion. A delight to read.

I found the diary entry narrative helpful in understanding the teachers mindset in a Montessori classroom as well as providing insight into how children can learn in this setting. Both my children attended Montessori (pre-k to 2nd grade). This helped me understand nuances and how their learning and the teacher's role/expectations progressed throughout the year. Very good book!

Very interesting book about a year in a Montessori classroom. An inside look at what goes on in a classroom, and how the teacher "directs" the activities of a Montessori classroom.

My son is in a Montessori PUBLIC Charter and I wanted to learn more about it. This was a huge help.

Great to get a peek in a montessori classroom. This book really helps with strategies to use on my own kids, as well!

I really enjoyed this book. I am a Montessori teacher and I found it inspirining. It is also great for parents to understand the teacher's side. I loved it!

The colour page that was being advertised is different from what I received but it was in good condition.

Just what my wife needed for her class in Montessori. Five star !!
