Servant Leadership in Montessori Education and Academic Research: Perspectives of Two Practitioners

Abstract/Notes: This article breaks new ground in exploring servant leadership with two practitioners, a Montessori team leader and a physics professor. Looking at their reflections through the eyes of adult education, all three authors ascertained that the two practitioners were natural servant-leaders. As they considered what servant leadership meant for their teams and their leadership, they discovered that their new knowledge enhanced their way of looking at their roles with their team members. It became apparent as they contemplated the characteristics of servant leadership, that they were already practicing many of the qualities, because they wanted to serve their teams.

Melts in Your Mind, Not in Your Hand: Using Manipulatives to Teach Social Work Research
Available from: Taylor and Francis Online
Publication: Journal of Teaching in Social Work, vol. 20, no. 1-2

Abstract/Notes: Research and statistics are a vital part of the social work curriculum. However most social work students have difficulty grasping the basic concepts of these topics for a variety of reasons. Maria Montessori, the noted child psychologist and educator, is credited with formulating the concept of manipulatives: objects that can be used to concretize abstract processes in order to improve learning and retention. This article describes techniques for teaching the principles of hypothesis generation, sampling, statistical regression, and tests of significance (t-test and ANOVA) using small colored candies as manipulatives. Suggestions are provided for stimulating class discussions.
