Abstract/Notes: John McNamara shares his wisdom and humbly credits Camillo Grazzini, Jenny Höglund, and David Kahn for his growth in Montessori. Recognizing more than what he has learned from his mentors, he shares the lessons he has learned from his students themselves. Math, science, history, and language are so integrated in the curriculum that students comment they don't even think whether they are doing science or math. A schedule that allows time for students to follow a query to a conclusion is vital to the kinds of discoveries John's students make, such as a shortcut for multiplying binomials or reconfiguring cubing materials that made even John marvel at student independence and innovation. A bibliography is included. [This paper was presented at the NAMTA conference titled "A Montessori Integrated Approach to Science, Mathematics, Technology, and the Environment" in Portland, OR, Mar 31-Apr 3, 2016.]

Abstract/Notes: Jim Roberts captures the challenges of walking with small groups of children under six, building confidence in bushwhacking trails, and walking on brambles. Mr. Roberts gives many clues as to indirect teaching moments while enjoying the ramble with an emphasis on opening the sensory pathways without the clutter of names, which can often give young children a false sense of intimacy with the natural world.

Abstract/Notes: Montessori schools have become a fixture in the U.S. and many parts of the world. Many parents want their children to benefit from the materials and methods Maria Montessori developed. Indeed, Montessori schools for young children are so common that a person unfamiliar with educational history would be surprised to learn that Montessori once challenged the educational mainstream. What’s more, her underlying philosophy is still quite radical today.
