Abstract/Notes: This chapter provides an overview of the ways in which Maria Montessori’s theories are being confirmed through technological advances in neuroscience that she could only have dreamed of so many years ago. The educational philosophy of Maria Montessori was rooted in her lifelong observation of children, which resulted in several strikingly accurate hypotheses on child development that predated related neuroscientific discoveries by decades. These hypotheses include: existence of critical periods of development, effects of a stimulating environment, importance of sensory affective stimulation, human capacity for acquiring language from the environment, and the role of embodied learning.

Abstract/Notes: This section provides an overview of Maria Montessori’s life and her intellectual ideas in the context of her contemporaries. The four chapters of this section expand Montessori’s intellectual and practical legacies beyond education alone by emphasizing the relationship of her work to philosophy, feminist paradigms, spiritual influences, and the varied political narratives around her. These contributions add a great deal to the provenance of her ideas within the unfolding Italian and European social and intellectual history of the time. Montessori was a child of both the Enlightenment and the Risorgimento and was buffeted by late 19th century and early 20th century events just as were her contemporaries. The fact she, and her work, survived is a testament to her capacity to navigate very difficult historical contexts.

Abstract/Notes: The Montessori-Inspired Lifestyle® (MIL) was implemented as the foundation of care in several assisted living memory care (ALMC) neighborhoods to enhance meaningful social roles, engagement, and focus on residents' remaining capabilities. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to evaluate the outcomes regarding resident levels of engagement and prescribed antipsychotic medications before and after MIL implementation. A total of 85 residents were observed for 10-minute periods seven times during 1 day to ascertain the level of engagement during meals and planned and unplanned activities. Positive engagement minutes increased after MIL implementation for activities and meals. Outcomes of this project support the MIL as a foundation of care for ALMC residents and have raised the awareness for addressing diverse cognitive abilities. The need for reoccurring training for the sustainability of this model of care was recognized. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 46(5), 40–46.]
