b'This episode will walk you through the history and development of Maria Montessori\\u2019s method of education. Her pedagogy focuses on two fundamental approaches to learning: 1) unique multi-sensorial learning materials, and 2) a self-directed environment for children. The exploration that follows from these prepared environments maybe creates endless learning opportunities that are accompanied by instruction from trained teachers. However, wide variation in the practices exist across the thousands of schools under the Montessori banner worldwide. While some parallels can be drawn to other empirically-supported teaching methods, there are still several questions that remain about the effectiveness of the Montessori method and more specifically, which components really work.
