Her work established educational environments tailored to the child where autonomy and independence are encouraged within thriving and respectful communities. \u003ci\u003eThe Bloomsbury Handbook of Montessori Education\u003c\/i\u003e is an accessible resource tracing Montessori education from its historical roots to current scholarship and contemporary issues of culture, social justice, and environmentalism. Divided into six sections the handbook encompasses a range of topics related to Maria Montessori and Montessori education including foundations and evolution of the field; key writings; pedagogy across the lifespan; scholarly research; global reach; and contemporary considerations such as gender, inclusive education, race and multilingualism. Written by scholars and practitioners based in over 20 countries, this is the go-to reference work for anyone i\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s a little daunting to convey how important this work is for the development and furtherance of Montessori education, especially in the publicly funded realm… And anyone with a serious interest in Montessori education should really consider adding it to their library. It’s that good, that comprehensive, and that important. * Montessori Public: National Center for Montessori in the Public Sector *\u003cbr\u003eThe handbook is a valuable resource for those seeking scholarly discussion of Montessori philosophy and pedagogical practice, for those wanting insight on Montessori and education reform, and for practitioners and teacher educators facing contemporary educational challenges around the world. * Journal of Montessori Research *\u003cbr\u003eI wish I’d had this Handbook when I trained as a Montessori teacher 30 years ago! Here is everything one could wish to know about Montessori education in one place. This cutting-edge text will inspire teachers and researchers alike, and will set the research agenda for years to come. * Chloe Marshall, Professor of Psychology, Language and Education, UCL Institute of Education, UK *\u003cbr\u003eThis is an impressive handbook on Montessori education, both rich in scope and approached with nuance and critical insight. Education scholars and practitioners will find this a go-to resource to understand the theory, practice, global reach and historical significance of the phenomenon of Montessori education. * Arathi Sriprakash, Professor of Education, University of Bristol, United Kingdom *\u003cbr\u003e“Help me do it myself” is the famous quote from Maria Montessori. This exceptionally rich Handbook reveals the essence of her dual method: watch the child’s pedagogical unfolding and observe the child’s educational yearning. These expert authors share secrets of profoundly gifted insights and developmental teachings, uniquely meant for children. * Max van Manen, Professor Emeritus, University of Alberta, Canada *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface, \u003ci\u003eMira Debs (Yale University, USA), Angela K.
