Proceedings, American Montessori Society Seminar (Minneapolis, Minn., June 16-19, 1971): Environments for Learning.
American Montessori Society, New York, NY.
Papers from a seminar of the American Montessori Society are presented on various kinds of environments for learning. The first addresses itself to the ideas of Montessori herself, focusing on the interaction of the child at the place which he found himself as an alternative to interaction with an instructing and supporting adult. The power of environmental influences on the child's preparation for life is stressed. Subsequent papers deal with related topics of the psychological environment, pre-school curricula (comparative results), effectiveness training for parents and teachers, creative spaces, and children's literature.
