PROTOCOL: Montessori Education for Improving Academic and Social/Behavioral Outcomes for Elementary Students

Available from: Wiley Online Library

Publication: Campbell Systematic Reviews, vol. 12, no. 1

Pages: 1-32

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this review is to investigate, via a quantitative meta‐analysis, the hypothesis that the Montessori method is at least as effective as traditional education in affecting academic and social outcomes for children. The proposed meta‐analysis is completed with the intention to help the public, as well as the research community, make more informed and empirically sound decisions regarding Montessori education by collecting, codifying, synthesizing, and disseminating the current empirical research.

Educating for Wisdom and Compassion: Creating Conditions for Timeless Learning

Holistic education

See More

Abstract/Notes: Blending philosophy, research, and three decades of practice, John P. Miller's engaging discussion of timeless learning reminds us that wisdom as an outcome of education is more than skills mastery and high-stakes assessments. Among the benefits to students discussed here are wholeness; a sense of purpose; improved attention, alertness, perception, and memory; and reduced stress and anxiety achieved through meditation, contemplation, and reflection.

Abstract/Notes: The New Boyland, overlooking Santa Barbara, the channel, and the encircling hills and mountains, is rapidly nearing completion and will be open to visitors for the first time on the afternoon of October first, when all are invited to call between the hours of 3 o'clock and early evening. The Boyland course for the coming year will follow the Montessori method; it will, in fact, be a Montessori school, with slight deviations from the straight course for some of the more advanced students. Mr. Hopkins' methods at Boyland in the past have been in keeping with the ideas of Dr. Montessori; he has attended her classes and followed the development of her work, so that the establishment of her materials and methods in full is quite a natural outcome in the development of Boyland, where the method of individual child study has always prevailed. New To The West. Most people associate this method with very young children, and it is not generally known that the famous Italian doctor has for several years been working out an advanced method for older children, and teaching the method to teachers in San Diego. A few eastern schools are now using the advanced materials, but hitherto the full method and its accompanying materials have not been introduced in the west. The equipment in ingeniously contrived, and is much more interesting to the average adult than that used in the primary classes. These materials will soon arrive in Santa Barbara and will be shown at the reception and their uses explained by Mrs. Mollie Price Cook and Mrs. Rose Travis, both of Los Angeles, who are members of the Boyland faculty. They are graduates of the advanced Montessori classes and have had wide teaching experience in the south. Their perfect demonstrations will doubtless correct some wrong impressions of the method. The fall term at Boyland will open October 8, and girls as well as boys will be enrolled. In addition to the usual boarding school there will be a day school, with classes for children three to six and six to ten years of age. No new pupils over ten years old will be admitted. The day is from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. A hot dinner will be served at noon in the airy big dining room on top of the house, at tables to suit the size of the children dining at them. The younger children will have naps if necessary, and everything will be provided to round out a perfect child's day. There will be all kinds of games, music, and plenty of time for play. There are two big gymnasiums, one in the open and the other forming a part of the great auditorium. Vegetable and flower gardens to work in will provide interesting tasks for the little people, and there will be a museum and park, with tagged exhibits and rare plants and trees, to teach them vocabulary. In addition to the Montessori work, modeling, drawing and basketry will be taught. Many Fine Details. The new building is imposing and interesting. It is absolutely fireproof, has indirect lighting, is steam heated and has been constructed with more than usual attention to ventilation. The little apartments for the resident children include a small study, with well-lighted desk, a long treasure box in which to stow away belongings, with cushions on top to form a couch; a lavatory, a closet and a bedroom which may be thrown open like a sleeping porch and into which the rain cannot come even in the stormiest of weather. The walls and ceilings are in a neutral tone, and color will be introduced in hangings, rugs, etc. No opportunity has been lost to let in the outdoors at every point, and great windows frame the beauty of the view, which stretches away in panoramic beauty on all sides. Each area of the loggia frames an unforgettable picture, some of which are like glimpses of foreign landscape. The main building includes the auditorium, with large stage, the back of which opens wide to the grandeur of the view; the "gym," with its glass swimming pool; reception room; private offices; library; club rooms for the men and women employees; dining room, and attractive, model sanitary kitchen and pantries. One of the features is a group of little shops, where the children will be taught salesmanship and the keeping of accounts. The great map of the world is nearing completion; recently the volcano craters have been equipped with the necessary apparatus to enable them to belch forth fire and smoke; and the river sources have been supplied with the means of regulating their flow of water. The orange orchard has been set out, and many shrubs and trees planted. The classrooms are being furnished and put in order, and by the first of the month will be ready to receive the guests of the school.
