Maria Montessori understood the importance of active involvement on the part of learners in their own education. Building on the ideas she first developed in a day care center in the slums of Rome, Montessori developed a system of education that is still in use today around the world. This production presents the basic premises of that educational practice and shows how it is carried out in current schools. Montessori's own development as an educational innovator and her relationships with historical figures of her time are documented with archival materials.
