Montessori The Australian Story

The Book of the Century! In 1913 four Australian teachers attended Dr Maria Montessori's first training course in Rome. That year Blackfriars Practising School in Sydney was one of the first schools in the world to adopt the Montessori approach. A century later, Montessori continues to be at the forefront of innovative education in this country, with 200 schools and centres, including Indigenous learning programmes, and a recognised curriculum of its own. In this book, Dr Susan Feez traces the history of this ground-breaking teaching method.
