Words of wisdom from Maria Montessori for Teacher Appreciation Week: “Children are human beings to whom respect is due, superior to us by reason of their innocence and of the greater possibilities of their future.”
The Italian educator and physician created the Montessori Method, an educational approach that encourages children's learning through discovery that is now used in an estimated 20,000 schools worldwide. To learn more about her work and educational philosophy, check out the insightful biography "Maria Montessori: Her Life and Work" at https://www.amightygirl.com/maria-montessori-life-work
For several books by Maria Montessori that explore her educational philosophy, check out "The Montessori Method" (https://amzn.to/3BilWwq), "The Secret of Childhood" (https://amzn.to/3DtO9Ci), "The Absorbent Mind" (https://amzn.to/3jAXFMd), and "The Discovery of the Child" (https://amzn.to/3mLJDZW)
To introduce children to this inspiring role model, we highly recommend the Maria Montessori picture book for ages 5 to 8 at https://www.amightygirl.com/maria-montessori
