Abstract/Notes: Dr. Margaret "Peggy" Loeffler (1921-2016) was a true Montessori pioneer, someone who had a lasting impact on the American Montessori Society, on Montessori schools, and on teacher education programs. [...]years before MACTE (Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education), this group met twice a year over a weekend to admit new programs, set standards, and so on. Characteristics of the Average Elementary Child's Developing Mathematical Mind-Harvey Hallenberg The Characteristics of the Child Six to Twelve Years Old and Their Implications for the Design of the Montessori Elementary Curriculum-no author designated Language Curriculum and Developmental Characteristics-no author designated Learning and Development: Language and Thought- Dottie Feldman Maria Montessori and Jean Piaget: A Comparative Study of the Six- to Nine-Year-Old Child-Dottie Feldman Montessori's View of the Characteristics of the Six- to Twelve-Year-Old-Eileen Buermann Montessori's View of Child Development-Lorna Terhune Physical Development from Age Six through Age Twelve-Joy Turner (Joy's paper began with a quote, on the title page, from an Emily Dickinson letter: "Could you tell me how to grow, or is it unconveyed, like melody or witchcraft?") Rationale and Overview of Arithmetic Work-Harvey Hallenberg Reading and Writing Instruction-Dottie Feldman Social and Personality Development in the Six- to Twelve-Year-Old-John Chattin-McNichols Suggestions: Basic Characteristics of a Montessori Program for 6- to 12-Year-Old Children-Anne McCarrick Visual Arts and Design-Harvey Hallenberg Working Paper-Margaret Loeffler One of the most important outcomes of this work was a sense that we were able to take charge of our own classrooms and teacher education programs. A current head of an AMS teacher education program said to me that the TRN was the best professional development she ever had as a Montessori educator. [...]her insistence on the agency of the classroom teacher and the classroom as a laboratory-ideas taken directly from Montessori's writings-have been formative for many teachers and teacher educators today.

Abstract/Notes: IBHA, the International Big History Association, was organized in 2010 and "promotes the unified, interdisciplinary study and teaching of history of the Cosmos, Earth, Life, and Humanity." This is the vision that Montessori embraced long before the discoveries of modern science fleshed out the story of the evolving universe. "Big History" is a university curriculum that gives a comprehensive overview of everything from the birth of the universe to modern societies and visions of the future. In essence, it is a college-level version of Montessori's Cosmic Education. The IBHA held its first conference in August 2012 at Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, MI. A panel of Montessorians gave presentations at the conference to inform the assembled group of their own elementary school version of Big History.
