Developing an Education Model
Montessori began to ask how these teaching techniques might work for ‘normal’ children. On the basis of her observation of child development and her ground-breaking teaching methods, Dr Montessori was appointed to the University of Rome as a professor in the fields of anthropology and pedagogy. In 1906, she was asked to open a school for a group of children who were running wild on a housing estate in a poor area of Rome. She called her school ‘Casa dei Bambini’ (The Children’s House) and again she applied and developed her teaching techniques. Once more the results seemed to be miraculous. The ‘wild’ children quickly became a community of learners. This first Montessori school had an extraordinary impact on educators throughout the world. Dr Montessori was honoured in many countries and for a time it seemed her method would become mainstream.
