Abstract/Notes: Hearing is the body's mechanical or automatic physical awareness of vibrations-mostly through our ears-whereas listening is the conscious act of attention given to processing and making meaning out of those signals with our minds. Model Exercises: Tapping Glasses and Tuning Fork Resonator (see pp. 36-39 for these and all other exercises) EXTENDING THE GAMES OF SİLENCE As Montessori did, with her broad goals of peace education, Oliveros understood listening to be fundamentally a peace activity. Control of Error: Aural discrimination Points of Interest: Sonic and visual appeal of the glasses; different sounds that emanate from different strike points on the glasses; awareness of other environmental sounds while listening Variations and Extensions: 1.

Abstract/Notes: Educational philosophy in elementary and secondary schools has often centered on creating a "product," full of content knowledge and basic skills (Bagby, 2002). However, no longer is academic achievement in the classroom considered the sole gauge of lifelong success. Meltzer (2010) suggested that the development of executive functioning skills utilized to reach academic achievement is equally important--skills such as prioritizing, planning, self-checking, and setting short-term and long-term goals. Being able to plan, organize, and monitor one's time are crucial skills in today's world. These three competencies are only a few of the elements of "executive function," an umbrella term referring to the cognitive processes that guide, direct, and manage thinking, emotional responses, and behavior. Dawson and Guare (2010) provided an overview of how executive function skills operate to maximize student success. The authors will consider three of these skills--planning, organization, and time management--and will illustrate how each is developed through Montessori practices.

Abstract/Notes: [...]by making your school or classroom inclusive, you have the very amazing power to change those numbers. Because these aren't just statistics we are talking about-these are the lives of people. [...]setting your students up for success in life means teaching them that all people, even people who don't look like they do, identify how they identify, or love how they love, should be given the same respect, love, and rights as all human beings. Because even if you don't have queer children or families in your school community, your children will have them in their lives, and it is our job to teach our children how to be kind, loving, and accepting individuals. [...]they may be far less likely to be accepting and loving toward those people. Since children are naturally inclined to conform to what they see around them, we as educators need to do our hest to hreak existing gender stereotypes and provide children with varied narratives about who they can be-so that they are able to find reflections of themselves in their culture.
