Abstract/Notes: Maria Montessori was one of the first special educators. In 1898, as an assistant instructor at the University of Rome's Psychiatric Clinic, Montessori visited an asylum for the "insane" and became interested in the children with special needs who were housed there. She noticed that the children were not being stimulated; learning was at a standstill. It is from this juncture that she developed materials and space to educate those once considered "uneducable." From 1898 to 1900, Montessori worked 11 hours a day with the children at Rome's First State Orthophrenic School. During this period, she developed a program specifically designed to teach academic skills, life skills, and social skills to children with special needs. In 1907, inspired by the success at the State Orthophrenic School, Montessori opened her first "Casa dei Bambini" (Children's House) for the children of Rome. Montessori's methodology has developed over the years, but its original three principles remain the same: (1) Teaching academic skills; (2) Teaching life skills; and (3) Modeling social skills. This article investigates whether Montessori teaching, materials, and methods can support an inclusive 21st-century classroom.

Abstract/Notes: Martha Urioste tells a compelling history of public sector Montessori in Denver, from its socially charged beginnings in the 1960s to 2009. She played a huge role in creating the first public Montessori school in Colorado that was launched as an integration model with bilingual classes and staff [Family Star Montessori School]. This inspirational story begins with her early bilingual educational assignments in public schools, her exposure to Montessori teaching, and continues through a nine-year process called "Ten Steps to Montessori Implementation" where her mission for integrated, bilingual, public Montessori was supported with unparalleled parent enthusiasm. [This talk was presented at the NAMTA conference titled "Building the Inclusive Montessori Community," Phoenix, AZ, January 16-19, 2014.]

Available from: ERIC

Abstract/Notes: This paper describes a summer remedial program for third- and fifth-grade students administered by Valdosta State University in Georgia. The program utilizes a multi-age, multi-ability, thematic, and full-inclusion approach. Assessment of the program was based on data collected through interviews with 18 students and a survey of 28 parents. Both groups reported that they enjoyed the program. The high level of student involvement and students' descriptions of the program as "fun" validated the program's hands-on approach. The following recommendations are made for the education of K-7 students: (1) use a hands-on approach to increase student involvement; (2) develop different avenues for parent involvement; (3) incorporate the thematic approach into the instructional process; and (4) consider alternative classroom designs in meeting students' needs. Copies of the interview guide and survey are included.
