Abstract/Notes: Formerly entitled The Montessori Method: Scientific Pedagogy as Applied to Child Education in the Children's Houses. This book was first published in 1909 under the title 'Il Metodo della Pedagogia Scientifica Applicato all'Educazione Infantile nelle Case dei Bambini' ('The Montessori Method: Scientific Pedagogy as Applied to Child Education in the Children's Houses) and was revised in 1913, 1926, and 1935. Maria Montessori revised and reissued this book in 1948 and renamed it 'La Scoperta del Bambino'. This edition is based on the 6th Italian edition of 'La Scoperta del Bambino' published by the Italian publisher Garzanti, Milan, Italy in 1962. M. J. Costelloe, S. J. translated this Italian version into the English language in 1967 for Fides Publishers, Inc. In 2016 Fred Kelpin edited this version and added many footnotes.

Abstract/Notes: This is a special issue of the Italian-language journal 'Rivista di Storia dell'Educazione' [Journal of History of Education] devoted to academic research about Maria Montessori, Montessori method of education, and the Montessori movement. // This issue of RSE aims to propose a critical and historical reflection on the many variables that feature the practical and theoretical achievements of Maria Montessori’s pedagogy and movement from the end of the XIX century to our years, by highlighting the human, professional and cultural relations between her, her thought and some significant institutions, educators and thinkers in Italy and in foreign countries. Maria Montessori, her theories, her method and her schools have always been at the center of a broad debate that involves both educational elements, and historical, cultural or political aspects.

Abstract/Notes: Dr. Margaret "Peggy" Loeffler (1921-2016) was a true Montessori pioneer, someone who had a lasting impact on the American Montessori Society, on Montessori schools, and on teacher education programs. [...]years before MACTE (Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education), this group met twice a year over a weekend to admit new programs, set standards, and so on. Characteristics of the Average Elementary Child's Developing Mathematical Mind-Harvey Hallenberg The Characteristics of the Child Six to Twelve Years Old and Their Implications for the Design of the Montessori Elementary Curriculum-no author designated Language Curriculum and Developmental Characteristics-no author designated Learning and Development: Language and Thought- Dottie Feldman Maria Montessori and Jean Piaget: A Comparative Study of the Six- to Nine-Year-Old Child-Dottie Feldman Montessori's View of the Characteristics of the Six- to Twelve-Year-Old-Eileen Buermann Montessori's View of Child Development-Lorna Terhune Physical Development from Age Six through Age Twelve-Joy Turner (Joy's paper began with a quote, on the title page, from an Emily Dickinson letter: "Could you tell me how to grow, or is it unconveyed, like melody or witchcraft?") Rationale and Overview of Arithmetic Work-Harvey Hallenberg Reading and Writing Instruction-Dottie Feldman Social and Personality Development in the Six- to Twelve-Year-Old-John Chattin-McNichols Suggestions: Basic Characteristics of a Montessori Program for 6- to 12-Year-Old Children-Anne McCarrick Visual Arts and Design-Harvey Hallenberg Working Paper-Margaret Loeffler One of the most important outcomes of this work was a sense that we were able to take charge of our own classrooms and teacher education programs. A current head of an AMS teacher education program said to me that the TRN was the best professional development she ever had as a Montessori educator. [...]her insistence on the agency of the classroom teacher and the classroom as a laboratory-ideas taken directly from Montessori's writings-have been formative for many teachers and teacher educators today.
