Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In 1913 four Australian teachers attended inspirational educator Dr Maria Montessori’s first international training course in Rome. That same year Blackfriars School in Sydney was one of the first schools in the world to adopt the Montessori approach. A century later, Montessori continues to be at the forefront of innovative education in this country, with 200 schools and centres, including Indigenous learning programmes, and a recognised curriculum of its own. With an emphasis on independence, self-confidence and a positive learning experience, a number of Montessori techniques have been adopted by mainstream schools, while others remain controversial.
