Abstract/Notes: In Montessori schools, the best way to strengthen the climate of success by the administrators is called "transformational leadership". Leadership theorist James McGregor Burns identifies transformational leadership as a mutual belief and value system, and a commitment between a principal and teachers to focus on what works best for their school. In addition to the principal and teachers, the whole community (parents, students, staff, and neighborhood locals) is united in pursuit of higher-level goals that are common to all (Sergiovanni, 1990). In this article, the author discusses the importance of collaborative school leadership, which is necessary in dealing with the dynamically complex challenges in schools. He further emphasizes on the four components of collaborative leadership that can help school leaders accomplish what works best for their schools: (1) Helping faculty members grow in their knowledge and experience through collaborative community meetings and team meetings; (2) Putting a system in place to support the professional growth of all teachers according to their needs; (3) Having a strategic plan developed by the entire school community that declares the school's mission and creates an action plan to achieve that mission; and (4) Providing opportunities for teachers and administrators to collaborate to deal with classroom challenges. Consequently, these four opportunities support transformational leadership where leaders and teachers are united in pursuit of higher-level goals. These strategies hold great promise for helping schools improve professional practice and student achievement.

Abstract/Notes: Montessori è forse il made-in-Italy culturale e commerciale più diffuso al mondo. E più copiato, contaminato, osteggiato, rielaborato, nel corso di un secolo della sua storia. I temi affrontati in questo libro sono quelli del rapporto di Maria Montessori con il mondo cattolico e con la Teosofia, della promozione del Metodo nella cultura massonica dell'Italia di inizio Novecento, della sua accettazione o del rifiuto da parte di positivisti e pedagogisti italiani, della sua diffusione veloce ma un po' selvaggia nel mondo contemporaneo. Fino – per il futuro – alle possibili strumentalizzazioni, agli snaturamenti, alle sue enormi possibilità. [Montessori is perhaps the most widespread cultural and commercial made-in-Italy in the world. And more copied, contaminated, opposed, reworked, over the course of a century of its history. The themes addressed in this book are those of Maria Montessori's relationship with the Catholic world and with Theosophy, the promotion of the Method in the Masonic culture of early twentieth-century Italy, its acceptance or rejection by Italian positivists and pedagogists, of its fast but somewhat wild diffusion in the contemporary world. Up to - for the future - the possible exploitations, the distortions, its enormous possibilities.]

Abstract/Notes: Oh, and I also learned WFB (working from bed) is totally a thing, and Im not upset about it! JILL SEGERMAN, LEAD ONLINE LEARNING INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNER I was already working from home, so that part of my routine didnt change. GARRETT SCHMIDT, ASSISTANT REGISTRAR OF CREDENTIALS & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Before quarantine began, I had started walking to and from work, about 9 miles round trip; it was very enjoyable and some much-needed exercise after the winter hibernation. Recent favorites have been The Shining (perfectly appropriate for current circumstances) and O Brother, Where Art Thou? MUNIR SHIVJI, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Ive reflected a lot on how grateful I am to be privileged with a home, loved ones, friendships, and work that I love.
