Abstract/Notes: This fairytale-come-true began with an idealistic public school teacher just out of college who lived in the neighborhood of her students. In stages, working with a community organizing group consisting mainly of concerned parents, Terry Ford founded what is now called Lumin Education, a network of campuses serving more than six hundred children in a Montessori setting. Her hard-hitting, positive spiritual values bring premium Montessori education into a successful implementation for the most needy children.

Abstract/Notes: Im Jahr 2007 wurde in aller Welr das 100jährige Jubiläum der Montessori-Pädagogik gefeiert. Denn 1907 hatte Maria Montessori (1870-1952) im römischen Elendsviertel San Lorenzo ihr erstes Kinderhaus für 2- bis 6jährige Kinder gegründet. Heute gibt es in 110 Ländern der Erde Zehntausende von Montessori-Einrichtungen für alle Alterstufen. Was macht dieses Konzept so aktuell? Dieser Frage ging die Tagung der deutschen Montessori-Vereinigung im Jubiläumsjahr 2007 nach. Die Tagungsbeiträge, die sich schwerpunktmäßig auf Theorie und Praxis der Vorschulerziehung beziehen, sind in diesem umfassenden Band dokumentiert, zusammen mit einigen zusätzlich aufgenommen Aufsätzen zu gegenwärtigen Forschungsfragen. [In 2007, the 100th anniversary of Montessori education was celebrated all over the world. Because in 1907 Maria Montessori (1870-1952) founded her first children's home for 2- to 6-year-old children in the Roman slum district of San Lorenzo. Today there are tens of thousands of Montessori institutions for all ages in 110 countries around the world. What makes this concept so topical? The conference of the German Montessori Association in the anniversary year 2007 investigated this question. The conference contributions, which focus on the theory and practice of pre-school education, are documented in this comprehensive volume, together with some additional articles on current research questions.]
