NAMTA Journal 28/1 01 Aligning Montessori Schools with True Montessori Essentials

In The NAMTA Journal, Volume 28, Number 1, 2003, Winter

Pages: 1-5

Describes evolution of the Montessori perspective as Montessori adolescent programs attempt to reinforce the elementary and early childhood stages. Asserts that although development of these programs is experimental and undefined, a crystallization point around the whole of Montessori may occur amid diverse implementation. Asserts that Montessori principles rest in life principles and that the Montessori community must realign its schools to the fundamental service and rhythm of all life.
