Patrick Frierson – Montessori Life: A Publication of the American Montessori Society, 2024
Montessorians, with their long history of careful attention to children's developmental possibilities, can and should develop materials and pedagogical methods that can help children not merely use but master the technologies of the future. This does not mean putting a computer in the hands of every 3-year-old; quite the contrary. Rather, it means…

Kate Powell – Montessori Life: A Publication of the American Montessori Society, 2024
In a span of about three days in the spring of 2023, the author's Instagram feed became inundated with mentions of artificial intelligence (AI), including Chat GPT, text-to-image models, and much more.

Jim Astrove – Montessori Life: A Publication of the American Montessori Society, 2024
Technology offers a new set of challenges for Montessori educators, as there are concerns of how freedom within limits can best be applied to technology use and how boundaries can be set for safety while not extinguishing children's natural curiosity.

Montessori Life: A Publication of the American Montessori Society, 2024
Wildflower Schools, a network of decentralized "shopfront" Montessori schools, began in 2014, when Sep Kamvar, a MIT Media Lab professor, was unable to find a preschool for his son that fit his needs, and ended up partnering with two veteran Montessori educators, Mary Rockett and Katelyn Shore, to start a school. Wildflower's work is…

Epstein, Paul – Montessori Life: A Publication of the American Montessori Society, 2023
Many Montessorians uphold the belief that, for children, work is preferable to play, and that play, especially fantasy play, is antithetical to work. In recent years, children have experienced disruption to their social and emotional development as a result of COVID-19 lockdowns. Recent research suggests that play in a variety of forms is a…

Shelton-Dodge, David – Montessori Life: A Publication of the American Montessori Society, 2023
Like many Montessori educators, the author was immediately drawn to the materials Maria Montessori designed for children in the conscious absorbent mind. They are simple, beautiful, and attractive to children. To many, including some parents, these materials are the essence of Montessori. However, Maria Montessori herself thought of her Method as…

Han, Daisy – Montessori Life: A Publication of the American Montessori Society, 2023
When Daisy Han first encountered a Montessori classroom, she actually felt free. Free to move, free to create, free to explore, free to try, free to fail, free to be. This freedom is essential to becoming an innovator. Innovators possess an irreverence almost as big as their self-efficacy, both of which have been nurtured in an environment where…

Tori Virlee; Erin Hardin; Chelsea McKinlay – Montessori Life: A Publication of the American Montessori Society, 2023
Reading is one of the most well-studied aspects of human learning. Since the 1950s, with more interest, research tools, and funding available, the body of reading research has exploded: Every year, hundreds of new scientific papers are published. However, there has been a detrimental lag in ensuring this science is understood by the people who…

Sid Mohandas – Montessori Life: A Publication of the American Montessori Society, 2023
Sid Mohandas argues that by tracing the roots of the Montessori approach and locate it within its historical context, contradictory stories begin to emerge. Montessori was primarily formed as a response to various social injustices and thus emerged as a justice-oriented project. However, the marks and traces of colonialism are clearly visible…

Have you ever wondered what Montessori looks like at the high school level? The author interviewed 17-year-old Violet Butler, a senior at Clark Montessori High School, in Cincinnati, OH, to get a sense of a typical day in her life. Her answers were inspiring, and the way she navigates the demands of school and life offered the author a sense of…
