Abstract/Notes: La place des bénévoles entre professionnels et familles n’est pas toujours confortable, le sujet est vaste, mon propos n’est pas d’en débattre ici mais de réfléchir à la possibilité d’un mode d’accompagnement permettant aux familles, professionnels et bénévoles de relayer une présence adaptée auprès des personnes âgées désorientées. S’agissant de soulager des professionnels et des familles dépassés par l’ampleur du sujet, les uns par manque de temps, les autres submergés par l’émotion, il nous faudra explorer ces deux composantes majeures de la relation d’aide que sont précisément le temps et l’émotion, la troisième composante étant la perspective de la mort. Je ne crois pas que la vieillesse soit un « naufrage ». Étant de ceux qui pensent que chacun souhaite trouver un sens à sa vie, j’y vois simplement une urgence à conclure. Militant pour la place des personnes âgées dans la société, je reconnais cependant que la démence et les comportements qui lui sont assortis viendraient facilement écorner mon idéal d’une vieillesse pleine de sagesse, contredire l’idée d’une exemplarité de nos aînés, du fait qu’ils soient un exemple à suivre et contrevenir jusqu’à l’idée que je me fais des règles de savoir-vivre. Comment ne pas s’indigner devant certains comportements de personnes âgées désorientées placées en maison de retraite qui insultent leurs voisins de table à tout bout de champ, importunent leurs enfants par téléphone 25 fois par jour et 24 heures/24 heures alors même qu’elles oublient ou confondent leurs prénoms, réclament leurs parents décédés depuis bien longtemps …

Abstract/Notes: Maria Montessori’s foundational work with poor children in Rome was reincorporated as a central mission of the organization, Educateurs sans Frontières (EsF), founded by the Association Montessori Internationale in 1999. EsF’s aims to expand access to Montessori to indigenous peoples and other vulnerable populations, such as those affected by poverty, displacement, and discrimination, and to expand Montessori’s ideas to support people at all stages of their lives. EsF connects a global network of changemakers, advocates for children’s rights, and provides support for global Montessori initiatives. The chapter profiles two EsF initiatives, Corner of Hope, a Montessori school for internally displaced persons in Kenya and Born Inside, a program for incarcerated mothers in the United Kingdom.

Abstract/Notes: This study was initiated to make a preliminary evaluation of the effects of Montessori education when children continued with the same method in public schools that they experienced in prekindergarten. Subjects were 72 black 5- and 6-year-olds from lower-middle and lower economic class families. There were two experimental classes in nongraded primary classrooms. One experimental group had Montessori preschool experience; the other, Head Start. Two control groups had conventional public classroom experience. One control group had experienced Head Start; the other had no formal preschool education. In a multiple-assessment procedure, children were measured according to ability(1) to create novel solutions to a maze puzzle; (2) to match appropriate objects among a sample of 3; (3) to separate an item from the field or context of which it is a part; (4) to control and restrain impulse action (Draw-a-Line-Slowly); (5) to repeat sentences (WPPSI); and (6) to initiate investigative behavior (curiosity measures.) Findings indicated that the non-graded primary combined with preschool experience showed the best results; subtracting either preschool or non-graded practices reduced the progress of the children.
