What really happens inside a Montessori classroom? How do teachers teach? How do children learn? This fascinating day-by-day record of a year in the life of a Montessori classroom answers these questions by providing an illuminating glimpse of the Montessori method in action.
PAULA POLK LILLARD is the head emerita and cofounder of the Forest Bluff School in Lake Bluff, Illinois. She is also the author of Montessori Today; Montessori, A Modern Approach, and Montessori from the Start (with Lynn Lillard Jessen).
“A moving book, and a deeply honest one. Lillard brings a compassionate intelligence to her task. . . . This is the book of a strong, wise, and sensitive teacher.
