Abstract/Notes: This article concerns three fundamental dimensions of all educational methods: technical, epistemological, and cultural. We perceive them as equally important in the process of (re)creating and using any educational method. It seems to us that the technical dimension is quite often the only one or at least the most essential one in the area of Polish educational practices, and sometimes also in the theory of education. This situation is, however, undesirable since it may lead to the decontextualisation of the methods, and – as a consequence – limit their educational potential. Referring to the Montessori approach and more specifi cally to one of the most signifi cant concepts within the method – namely to the idea of „prepared environment” in which three aspects can be distinguished: material, structural – dynamic, and personal, we describe the roles that they play in the procedures of constructing teaching methods showing their integral character.

Abstract/Notes: This chapter explores 15 strategies being employed at various public military charter schools across the United States to support the socio-emotional learning and education of the whole learner. These research-based strategies are intended to overcome and vanquish the adverse childhood experiences (identified in a Kaiser health study), various forms of trauma, and typical “at risk” factors so common amongst families who tend to choose public military academies in the hopes these schools will “fix” the many challenges their children face. Through a careful examination of each strategy (including its research basis and benefits and challenges), the author provides a glimpse into a possible formula other public and private schools might consider employing to meet the socio-emotional and educational needs of students impacted by a cacophony of life's challenges.

Abstract/Notes: This article provides a brief history of the Montessori method and the ideas its founder, Dr Maria Montessori, espoused with regards to child development in the early 20th century. The centre of Dr Montessori's pedagogy embraces two seemingly paradoxical extremes: the universal characteristics of the human child, and the child as a unique, unrepeatable, respectable, and admirable individual to be unconditionally accepted as one of life's most marvellous expressions. Montessori described the two phenomena of the 'absorbent mind' and the 'sensitive periods' as being particular to children under six years of age. Current research indicating the plasticity of the young child's brain and Csikszentmihalyi's optimal experience theory corroborate her ideas many decades later. Many of Montessori's other ideas - such as multi-age classrooms and peer tutoring, a reduced emphasis on academic testing, stimulating a wider range of student interests (as in the Reggio Emilia program), focusing on intrinsic motivation and life-long learning - are now integral to current educational debates.
