Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this qualitative research is to explore the implementation of the Montessori method in a middle school ascribed to the Puerto Rico Education Department, from the perspective of the school director and its teachers. It also identifies the challenges and the opportunities of changing from a traditional educational model to an innovative one. The methodology used for this research was the unique case study. The strategies used to gather and analyze the information were a semi structured interview with the school director, a focus group interview with six teachers and document analysis. The findings of the research emerging from the interview resulted in seven predominant categories: school retention, healthy school environment, the student as the center of the learning process, the school director’s role as promoter of educational changes, parents and community involvement and integration in the learning processes and the educational transformation that can occur within the Montessori method. This study reflects on the advantages of the Montessori method as an alternative to the traditional educational method. It also expands on the advantages of implementing this method in middle schools in Puerto Rico, on the school director as a key figure in the implementation and the advantages and opportunities of its school director. It also offers recommendations to the Puerto Rico Department of Education, the school visited, to academic school leadership programs and to future research in this area.

[The dialogue between architecture and pedagogy has intensified considerably in the last decades; however, in the Italian context, examples of schools that try to flee the rigid traditional models still represent isolated instances. This dissertation intends to deepen the process of designing a Public Primary School located in Italy, in Crespano del Grappa, in the Veneto region, as part of the national program Scuole Innovative which, through the launch of a competition for the construction of 51 new schools, embodies an attempt to innovate in the Italian school scenery. Based on the Montessori pedagogy or, more specifically, focusing on the possible relationship between its pioneering educational practices and the development of an educational environment, that could be really stimulating to learning, the present project tries to combine all these concerns, with the sense of the place, the landscape and the school as a public reference equipment for the whole community.]
