Abstract/Notes: Nancy McCormick Rambusch, founder of the American Montessori Society, described the application and significance of synergy in The Authentic American Montessori School: A Guide for the Self-Study, Evaluation, and Accreditation of American Schools Committed to Montessori Education (AMS, 1992). [...]creating synergy within a Montessori community to reach the specific goals of our organization requires common effort through building a scaffolding of support: * providing time and opportunity for all members to share perspectives and thoughts * encouraging open-minded listening * appreciating and understanding all members' perspectives * identifying and clarifying the work ahead * developing consensus about steps needed to reach a goal and taking ownership of those steps * evaluating, assessing, and reflecting on the results of community effort * planning for the future Helen Keller once said, "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much" (1980, p. 489). Appreciating the power of synergy can help a community comprehend the negative impact ofbeing unwilling to accept others.

Abstract/Notes: Learning itself involves a constant flux of perceptions and ideas, and this may cause children to feel vulnerable, with emotional swings from joy to anxiety. [...]with a bit of trust, planning, and preparation-and a dose of positive attitude-change can be the force that moves our natural spiritual energy forward into a life of learning. Show enthusiasm, smile often, build authentic relationships with all your students, get to know them as unique individuals, take them outside, incorporate diverse music into your class, avoid unhelpful criticism, and take time for yourself to reflect.

Abstract/Notes: Kohlberg's concept of a just community has been instituted, in varying degrees and at various levels, from the early elementary years upward. It is argued here that, although pre‐school children are developmentally unprepared for the in‐depth classroom discussions and reasoning called for by Kohlbergian theory, they are nevertheless capable of creating a just community in simplified, or embryonic, form. It is further argued that this pre‐school concept has been in existence since Maria Montessori established her first Children's House. A comparison of the Kohlberg and Montessori models is made showing their compatibility in both theory and practice. Further analysis shows that developmentally the two work well as a sequence for children's moral growth.

Abstract/Notes: In 2019, educators at Beehive Montessori School (Beehive) in Western Australia implemented their self-defined digital literacies framework. The framework guided their approach to, and use of, digital technologies in their classrooms. Doing so came out of a whole school action research project in which the school became a hub for inquiry and educators, and researchers worked together to identify issues and develop improvement processes. At the project conclusion, the educators and researchers had collaboratively defined a solution that met the mandated curriculum needs and fitted with the school autonomy. Most importantly the project and the solution empowered educators, as it aligned with the school-identified virtues and utilized the three-period lesson to teach it, all of which was consistent with Montessori pedagogy.
