great teaching guide

I bought this product for my girlfriend. She is an early childhood education major in college, and has taken a great interest in the Montessori teaching style. So far she has throughly enjoyed the book and simply been unable to set it down. I guess it must be a great read for those interested.

Only one word needed : Inspirational !

Having taught for a number of years in a Montessori environment, this book was like a breath of fresh air. From the first page I was hooked, understanding all. The book gave my staff and I may wonderful ideas for our classrooms, and made us really focus in on the importance of the Montessori method again. The best book to give to new staff members, Directresses or assistants; parents. So inspirational at a time when we were in a rut. Thank-you Paula for writing such a vailable book.

A diary account of the day by day occurances in a Montessori classroom. What is truely fascinating is the way this teacher closely observes the children and know when (and when not) to help and give assistance. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is confused about how the Montessori classroom operates. It is very informative and gives you an insider's viewpoint on the Montessori method of education.

What really happens inside a Montessori classroom? How do teachers teach? How do children learn? This fascinating day-by-day record in the year of the life of a Montessori classroom answers these questions by providing an illuminating and practical glimpse of the Montessori method in action.
