Montessori
One hundred and ten years ago, Maria Montessori, the first female physician in Italy, devised a very different method of educating children, based on her observations of how they naturally learn. In Montessori, Angeline Stoll Lillard shows that science has finally caught up with Maria Montessori. Lillard presents the research behind nine insights that are foundations of Montessori education, describing how each of these insights is applied in the Montessori classroom. In reading this book, parents and teachers alike will develop a clear understanding of what happens in a Montessori classroom and, more importantly, why it happens and why it works. Lillard explains the scientific basis for Montessori's system and the distinctions between practices in traditional, \"Montessomething,\" and authentic Montessori education. Furthermore, in this new edition, she presents recent studies showing evidence that this alternative to traditional schooling does indeed make a difference. Montessori is indispensable reading for anyone interested in teaching, training, or considering Montessori schooling, in developmental psychology, or in understanding about human learning and education overall.

Montessori education outcomes in Italy: Assessing the influential role of duration and implementation fidelity
This article investigates Montessori education in Italy through three studies, addressing a significant research gap in Europe. Two quasi-experimental studies examine academic and non-academic outcomes, considering factors such as gender, age, socio-economic status, years of Montessori education, and implementation fidelity. A third exploratory study surveys Montessori primary school teachers (Nequivalent328), identifying three distinct profiles. Only one group, representing half the sample, strictly adheres to Montessori practices, enabling the earlier studies to assess the effect of implementation fidelity. Academic outcomes, based on two student cohorts (Nequivalent535 and Nequivalent710), indicate that Montessori students achieve similar or higher scores than non-Montessori peers, particularly in Grades 8 and 10, with fewer than six years of Montessori education sufficient to produce these results. An orthodox Montessori approach correlates with better mathematics outcomes, while a less orthodox approach relates to superior language outcomes. Non-academic outcomes, focusing on Grade 8 students (N equivalent 85), highlight significantly higher empathy scores among Montessori students. Future research on different and larger samples is necessary to explore the link between non- orthodox implementation and language outcomes and to validate the hypothesis that the benefits of Montessori education on non-academic outcomes increase with the duration and fidelity of its implementation.
