Abstract/Notes: Grazia Honegger Fresco was one of Maria Montessori’s pupils, and she built on her teacher’s theories on the development and care of the infant and toddler child. She completed lengthy studies demonstrating how deeply Montessori investigated newborn children from the beginning of her research on human infancy. Montessori and Honegger Fresco introduced groundbreaking ideas, including: the fundamental role of the caregiver–child relationship, the importance of a young child’s environment responding to their particular sensitive periods of development, and the vision of a competent and active child even in the birth to 3 age group. The chapter provides an understanding of how the adult can prepare for the life of a young infant.

Abstract/Notes: In an effort to explore the ways in which Montessori curriculum and public schools are cooperative or mutually exclusive, I will examine the principles of the Montessori philosophy as set forth by Dr. Maria Montessori in the areas of learners and learning, the learning environment, the curriculum and instructional strategies, and student assessment. After examining these sectors of the Montessori method, I will discuss theoretical possibilities in adapting the Montessori method to the American public school system in the early 21st century. For the purpose of this paper, I will refer to the author of the Montessori method, as "Dr. Montessori" and call the general method or portions thereof as "Montessori."

Changing the Educational Landscape: Philosophy, Women, and Curriculum
Available from: Taylor and Francis Online
See More
Abstract/Notes: Changing the Educational Landscape is a collection of the best-known and best-loved essays by the renowned feminist philosopher of education, Jane Roland Martin. Trained as an analytic philosopher at a time before women or feminist ideas were welcome in the field, Martin brought a philosopher's detachment to her earliest efforts at revolutionizing the curriculum. Her later essays on women and gender further showcase the tremendous intellectual energy she brought to the field of feminist educational theory. Martin explores the challenges and contradictions posed by the very concept of women's education, and also recognizes how the presence of women necessitates the rearticulation of not only the curriculum but also the standard ideologies in education.
