Abstract/Notes: Montessori education was developed over 100 years ago, and persists as a marginal ‘niche reform’ of the standard model. Here I discuss two unresolved dichotomies in early childhood education – the tension between work and play, and between structure and freedom. I explain how Montessori collapses and thereby resolves the dichotomies, and does so in a contemporary theoretical frame – one that is dynamical rather than linear. I next describe the origins and functioning of Montessori preschool environments, outcomes from the most methodologically sound studies to date, and impediments to Montessori’s more widespread adoption. I also show how Montessori is a culturally responsive pedagogy, and conclude by return to the dichotomies and how Montessori makes sense for the modern era.

Making a Difference: A History of the Auckland College of Education, 1881-2004
See More
Abstract/Notes: Where was Auckland's first normal school? And why was it 'normal'? How did sport become such an integral part of Auckland schoolchildren's lives? What is the extraordinary story behind the striking layout of the Epsom campus? Who built an underground room, and patrolled the college grounds with rifles and fixed bayonets? Why, until recently, did Auckland's teachers have their own specialised training institution? All these questions are answered in this fascinating history of the Auckland College of Education and its forerunners, from its modest beginnings in the late nineteenth century through to the recent merger of the college with the University of Auckland in 2004. It documents not only the transformation of the institution, but also the college community. Includes a discusion about Margaret Slingsby Newman's efforts with the Montessori method in New Zealand.

Abstract/Notes: In contrast to intellectual giftedness reflected in high academic performance and often measured by IQ tests, there is growing recognition that other forms of giftedness exist. This paper focuses on creative giftedness, defined as high potential to produce work that is original and context appropriate. After a brief introduction to the psychological basis of creative giftedness, the role of school context in the development of creative potential is highlighted. Then an empirical study suggesting that creative potential is influenced by educational context is presented; pupils attending traditional and Montessori schools in France were compared on a set of creativity tasks in both the graphic and verbal domains. Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses were conducted as children were seen at two measurement occasions, with approximately one year delay. Results indicated greater scores on measures of creative potential for children in the Montessori context. The discussion situates the results in a broader context of issues concerning the development of creative giftedness through education.
