The Montessori Mission: Diversity - Wisdom - Reflection - Paperback

by Charlotte A. Awdry (Author)

The most important book on childhood and education for a generation: The Montessori Mission offers us a roadmap for parenting and an educational system that has the potential to nourish and raise up all communities.

Each chapter takes us on a beautiful journey into the lives of ten inspiring Montessorians from around the world. Rich, compelling and heartfelt interviews from the guests invoke humility, joy and hope; followed by Reflective Practices that draw out key insights from each guest. These insights offer us thought-provoking exercises in journaling, embodiment and creativity that invite us deeper into grace and open-heartedness . Each chapter finishes with a peek into the world of the guests; their culture, their art, their path as Educators.

It has become clear to many of us that education needs a complete overhaul for it to serve the needs of children, parents and our planet in the 21st century. We have seen that each of us has a responsibility to raise capable, compassionate contributors in order to create a more just and equal world.

Through the work of Dr Maria Montessori over one hundred years ago, we already have the model we need to create a more peaceful, just and harmonious world through our parenting, and gives us very clear hope of what education can be for all people.
