Looking Back to the Future: The Current Relevance of Maria Montessori's Ideas About the Spiritual Well-Being of Young Children

Abstract/Notes: Maria Montessori (1870-1952) was an Italian educator whose ideas and principles have validity in informing, understanding and responding to the challenges faced by contemporary educators . Many of her foundational principles are at the forefront of current educational thinking but are unacknowledged or unknown in mainstream education. It is argued that her ideas and principles about the spiritual wellbeing of young children have validity in the current debate. Montessori saw spirituality as innate in young children, the primary force driving their development and central to their capacity for joyful and deep engagement with their environment. She saw children’s capacity and ability to concentrate deeply as a spiritual pathway to a new level of individual consciousness and connection to the environment. These principles can inform our current thinking, understanding and response to young children’s spirituality. The conditions to bring about, support and protect what Montessori calls ‘concentration’ should be considered in pedagogical responses to the spiritual needs of young children

The Perfect Storm of Challenging Students: Fifteen Strategies to Support the Socio-Emotional Learning and Education of the Whole Learner
Available from: IGI Global
Book Title: Multifaceted Strategies for Social-Emotional Learning and Whole Learner Education
Pages: 211-245
See More
Abstract/Notes: This chapter explores 15 strategies being employed at various public military charter schools across the United States to support the socio-emotional learning and education of the whole learner. These research-based strategies are intended to overcome and vanquish the adverse childhood experiences (identified in a Kaiser health study), various forms of trauma, and typical “at risk” factors so common amongst families who tend to choose public military academies in the hopes these schools will “fix” the many challenges their children face. Through a careful examination of each strategy (including its research basis and benefits and challenges), the author provides a glimpse into a possible formula other public and private schools might consider employing to meet the socio-emotional and educational needs of students impacted by a cacophony of life's challenges.

A Strategy for Fighting the War on Poverty (The Montessori Method as Applied to the Brookhaven Project)

Early childhood education, Lena L. Gitter - Writings

Abstract/Notes: The basic goal of the program will be the development of the full potential of each child. The program also seeks an increase of parental awareness and understanding of the values of education and the parents' responsibility for their children's education. The town of Brookhaven seeks to mobilize all community resources, services, and facilities to the end of accomplishing the goals and objectives of this project. The goals of the proposed curriculum are: to help each child develop a positive self image, and encourage in each child the foundation for independent thought and action; to develop in each child an awareness and understanding of his environment; to improve communication skills, perceptual awareness, and motor coordination, increasing the level of each child's readiness for school achievement and participation in community activities; to develop in each child the ability to think quantitatively; to understand the structure of the number system and the logic of arithmetic operations; to foster aesthetic values through experiences in art and music; and, to promote good health in the children and encourage physical development. Practical life experiences must be provided for the child whose home may be lacking in the equipment, materials, or tools he will encounter outside that home. They involve all of the operations necessary for keeping the classroom and equipment in good working order.

The Need to Bridge the Gap Between Research on Children's Rights and Parenting Styles: Authoritative/Democratic Style as an Acultural Model for the Child's Well-Being

Abstract/Notes: The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child contains specific provisions on parent–child relations and parenting, but these provisions can be described as elusive. Furthermore, the Convention does not explicitly specify a children’s-rights-friendly parenting style. On the other hand, there is a disconnect between research on children’s rights and parenting styles. Based on the insights of the meta-theoretical critical realist approach, this paper argues that universal human flourishing is inconceivable without the development of a children’s-rights-friendly parenting style. It is argued that the Convention’s provisions on parent–child relations can be adapted to the perceptions of average parents, especially living in paternalistic societies, by adapting the conceptualizations of parenting styles developed by Baumrind and Lakoff. Overall, research on children’s rights, supported by literature on children’s-rights-friendly parenting, can show that children’s rights do not alienate parental rights and responsibilities. Instead, children’s rights give appropriate direction to parental authority and responsibility to realize the child’s well-being.
