Abstract/Notes: "...The opening event was the luncheon on September 14, at the Inside Inn, the great hotel inside the exposition gates. The immense dining room was jammed with 1,000 women, and many more would have come had there been possible space. San Francisco women flocked by the score in honor of the visiting delegates, whether keenly interested in the convention or not. Mrs. Fremont Older, wife of the editor of one of San Francisco's newspapers, was the toastmistress. Mrs. Belmont made the opening speech, sounding the keynote of the convention unmistakably clear. Other among the speakers were Dr. Yami Kim, of China; Mme. Maria Montessori, of Italy, and Mabel Taliaferro."

See More
Abstract/Notes: The last fifteen years have witnessed a surge of interest in Montessori education. This interest is evident in a rise in research on Montessori, increased mainstream press, and the opening of new Montessori schools. This growth in Montessori programs is evident not just in the private but also in the public sector, where we estimate that over 300 new public Montessori programs have opened since 2000.

Abstract/Notes: This chapter explores critical race theory (CRT) within Montessori contexts from the perspective of people of the global majority residing in the U.S. with implications for other oppressed groups globally. CRT developed from American legal scholarship in the 1970s to explain the persistence of racism after the Civil Rights Movement’s apparent success. CRT argues that the legacies of racism persist and provides an analytical lens to examine the ways that racism pervades various facets of life, including education. This chapter examines how Montessori education infused with culturally relevant pedagogy (CRP) and anti-bias/anti-racist (ABAR) curricula and can be a viable alternative to educational systems that perpetuate white supremacy and fail students of the global majority and other marginalized groups. However, the chapter also challenges aspects of Montessori practice that retain a Eurocentric perspective to the exclusion of other cultural, racial, and linguistic groups’ contributions.

Abstract/Notes: This chapter recounts the 100-year history of the Montessori movement in the United States and the role of Montessori within the contemporary American education landscape. We explore the origins of Montessori education in the US in the early 1900s, the mid-century revival of Montessori in private schools, and the growth of Montessori programs in public schools in conjunction with the school desegregation and charter school movements. We also situate Montessori education within a national context, including teacher education, education research, and questions of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice. We conclude with considerations for the future of the Montessori movement in the United States.
