International Montessori Index
<http://www.montessori.edu>
Lots of good stuff but this site requires a critical eye. It is described as the “official international Montessori website.” for people seeking “true” Montessori. With the many Montessori organizations, there is, of course, no official Montessori anything and lots of differences about what constitutes “truth.” Despite a stated commitment to being an open, comprehensive site, it is primarily an AMI site, with additional listings or non-AMI folks willing to pay. Still, Susan Stephenson’s knowledge of and love for the Montessori approach shows through and should provide insights for many users.
