Description
Understanding the Montessori Approach provides an accessible overview of this major pedagogical influence on early years practice. This second edition has been fully updated to reflect changes in the Early Years Foundation Stage and includes new insights into the relationship between technology and the Montessori approach, as well as a brand new chapter exploring Learning in Montessori Settings. The book examines the historical context of the Montessori approach, its views on child development, and the role of the learning environment in a child's educational development. It also details the organisation of Montessori schools worldwide and the structure of a typical day in a Montessori setting, highlighting the principles of Montessori pedagogy and how children learn in this environment. Suitable for those wishing to extend and consolidate their understanding of the Montessori Approach, this book includes case studies, examples, summaries, and reflective practice questions to support your learning.
