W
e have been involved in Montessori research for over two decades and welcome this opportunity to summarize some recent developments for Tomorrow’s Child. We both contributed to the recently published Bloomsbury Handbook of Montessori Education, a comprehensive reference containing an entire section on the “Science of Montessori Education.” With 62 chapters, more than 600 pages, and almost 100 authors from more than 25 countries, we know the handbook is not something most folks will read cover to cover. In this issue (and subsequent articles), we would like to highlight some of the research it contains. Let’s look at some of the questions we often hear.
