Specificatii
Bringing Montessori to America traces in engrossing detail one of
the most fascinating partnerships in the history of American
education--that between Maria Montessori and S. S. McClure, from
their first meeting in 1910 until their final acrimonious dispute
in 1915. Born on the Adriatic, Montessori first entered the world
stage in 1906 as the innovator of a revolutionary teaching method
that creates an environment where children learn at their own pace
and initiate skills like reading and writing in a spontaneous way.
As her school in Rome swiftly attracted attention, curiosity, and
followers, Montessori recruited disciples whom she immersed in a
rigorous and detailed teacher-training regimen of her own creation.
McClure was an Irish-born media baron of America's Gilded Age, best
known as the founder and publisher of McClure's Magazine. Against
the backdrop of Theodore Roosevelt's Bull Moose insurgency, the
brilliant and mercurial McClure used his flagship publication as a
vehicle to advance Progressive Party causes. After meeting in 1910,
McClure and Montessori embarked on a five-year collaboration to
introduce Montessori's innovative teaching style in the United
States. Gerald and Patricia Gutek trace the dramatic arc of the
partnership between the Italian teacher and American publisher
united by a vision of educational change in the United States.
After her triumphal lecture tour in 1913, Montessori, secure in her
trust of her American partner, gave McClure her power of attorney
and returned to Italy. The surge in popularity of Montessori
education in America, however, deeply concerned Montessori, who had
heretofore exerted total control over her method, apparatus,
schools, and teacher training. The American entrepreneurial spirit,
along with a desire to disseminate the Montessori Method quickly,
led to major conflicts between the Italian educator and American
businesspeople, particularly McClure. Feeling betrayed, Montessori
ended her relationship with her erstwhile collaborator. Gutek and
Gutek describe the fascinating story of this first wave of
Montessori education in the United States, which did not sustain
itself during Montessori's lifetime. It would not be until the
1950s that Montessori education was revived with the successful
establishment of Montessori academies throughout the United States.
