“At the end of this study within TIES, I am left with the sense that, in light of the crises facing our ecosystem, and the negative impact the human species has had on natural systems, Montessori’s ideas have more urgency today than in 1948. In that year, shortly after the ending of World War II, Montessori (1948/1989) sounded alarms about the need to educate children because of ‘world-shaking forces [which are] now making the realization of human unity an urgent necessity.’ (p. 77).”– Kathryn Ross
