Centenary Celebrations

A Montessori Journey: 1907-2007 by David Kahn and Gerard Leonard This special edition of The NAMTA Journal (Summer, 2007) is a companion to the NAMTA Centenary Exhibit, A Montessori Journey: 1907-2007. It includes never-before-published photos as well as a diligently researched narrative that chronicles the first hundred years of Montessori education worldwide. The Journey is about growth, independence, stages of development, about every kind of child of every culture and economic level. We witness with awe and wonder children who love to find their place beside the adult in a seamless international continuum of Montessori environments that protect and nurture. Maria Montessori emerges as a persistent and objective scientist in search of psychological and educational truth. Click here to view inside pages. Full color, 195 pages, 7" x 8.5".
