What if Maria Montessori had lived through the decades between her death and today? She would have most likely met don Milani, Mario Lodi, Rodari, Bortolato, Malaguzzi, Rosenberg, Forest Pedagogy, Cooperative learning, Diffused education and Schools Without Bags. And vice versa, how many of these experiences would not be what they are today without Maria Montessori? This book presents a pedagogical dictionary of encounters and key themes, evident and attractive pedagogical fraternities, articulated in ten different dialogues. These are encounters that Montessori never actually personally experienced but that we can try to imagine, transforming them not only into educational and teaching reflections but also into everyday practice. Achievable paths of learning and development, practical tips showing how pedagogical encounters can be expressed in teaching, entrusted to the professionalism of teachers, who, enthusiastic about the Montessori method, have the will and ability to bring it to life in the present and are not afraid that contamination might mean distorting the essence and value of the method.
