Guiding the manufacturers recognised by AMI in the production of approved Montessori materials;

Overseeing the publication of Dr. Montessori's books;

Organising congresses and study conferences;

Affiliating Montessori Societies; and

Publishing the magazine 'Communications',

"Times have changed, and science has made great progress, and so has our work; but our principles have only been confirmed, and along with them our conviction that mankind can hope for a solution to its problems, among which the most urgent are those of peace and unity, only by turning its attention and energies to the discovery of the child and to the development of the great potentialities of the human personality in the course of its formation."
(From the foreword to "The Discovery of the Child", Poona 1948)
