Fascinating reading.

I did a google search for montessori secondary education, and found some fascinating articles. I particularly enjoyed this one about a group of teachers from UK making an exploratory trip to the Netherlands to see how they do it over there. Reading it aloud improves it immeasureably ;)

I’d quite like to read An Education for Life but I’m not sure I’m willing to shell out quite that much. Must search ebay/ amazon for a used copy.

Other starter reading is referred to on this page, so I’m on the lookout for a copy of From Childhood to Adolescence to borrow, anyone got it?

And it’s fascinating to read about English schools with montessori in the name that don’t appear to fit with any version of montessori that I’ve encountered, and US schools that sound absolutely great. It’s definitely a fascinating topic for further exploration.

    I do have Maria Montessori - Her Life and Work by EM Standing, which is the only Monte book I have left. You can have it if you like, been sat in my ebay box for ages.

    I think I have some general Monte books somewhere, if I can find them I’ll fetch them for you to have a look at.
