Abstract/Notes: While many BIPOC Montessori educators engage in anti-racist and culturally responsive teaching, Montessori education remains predominantly race-evasive. As a philosophy, it is rooted in colorblind perspectives in its focus on "all children" and lack of explicit centering of BIPOC students’ experiences. Teaching must account for race and racial lived realities in order to better support BIPOC students’ ways of knowing in culturally relevant and sustaining ways. This study seeks to center the voices of BIPOC Montessori educators and disrupt the pattern of Montessori research conducted without a critical racial lens. Framed by Critical Race Theory, this study focuses on the strengths, assets, and anti-racist teaching practices that one BIPOC educator brings to her classroom. I use critical ethnographic methods to better understand how a BIPOC Montessori teacher at a public charter Montessori school interprets and enacts the Montessori method to support BIPOC students. I consider how her racial identity informs her practices, and the structural barriers she faces at her school when enacting anti-racist and strength-based approaches. The guiding research questions of this study are: How does a Black Montessori teacher interpret the Montessori philosophy to more relevantly support her BIPOC students? How does she practice the Montessori method through culturally relevant and sustaining practices? What are the structural barriers that continue to challenge her as a Black educator doing her work? My analysis suggests that the teacher maintains her classroom space as a tangible and intangible cultural space that reflects and maintains her students' identities; that her own identity as a Black woman deeply contribute to the school's work around anti-racism and culturally responsive pedagogy; and that there are external barriers that both the teacher and the school face, that prevent them both from fully achieving culturally responsive teaching practices. At the core of the study, I seek to understand the possibilities and challenges of Montessori education from the perspective of BIPOC Montessori educators, and how we could learn from them to better support BIPOC students. I hope to begin a path toward more counter-stories in the Montessori community to specifically support BIPOC Montessori educators and understand the structural barriers they face to anti-racist teaching in Montessori programs in the United States.

Bu amaçla, Konya iline bağlı Montessori yöntemiyle eğitim veren bir bağımsız anaokulundan 30, MEB Okul Öncesi Eğitim Programı'yla eğitim veren bir bağımsız anaokulundan 31 okul öncesi dönemdeki çocukla araştırma yürütülmüştür.

Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak "Selçuk Akran İlişkilerini Değerlendirme Ölçeği" ve "Akran Tepki Testi" kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada toplanan veriler SPSS 17.0 programıyla analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, Selçuk Akran İlişkilerini Değerlendirme Ölçeği problem çözme alt boyutunun sontest karşılaştırmasında deney grubu çocukların kontrol grubu çocuklara göre problem çözme becerilerinin daha düşük olduğu görülmüştür. Deney grubu çocukların öntest – sontest karşılaştırmasında ise problem çözme becerilerinin sontestte düştüğü görülmüştür. Kontrol grubu çocukların çekingenlik düzeylerinin sontestte arttığı, problem çözme boyutunda öntest puanlarının sontestte anlamlı düzeyde arttığı görülmüştür. Akran Tepki Testi sontest bulgularına göre ikinci olay karşısında kontrol grubu çocukların daha çok prososyal, deney grubundaki çocukların ise daha çok kaçınmacı tepki tercih ettiği görülmüştür. Üçüncü olay karşısında ise öntestte beklenen üzgün duygusal tepki tercih eden çocukların sontestte kızgın ve nötr tepki tercih ettikleri görülmüştür.
