Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this phenomenological study was to describe novice Montessori teachers' practicum experiences in public Montessori schools in the United States. Through the lens of Schlossberg’s transition theory, this study sought to answer the central research question: How do novice Montessori teachers describe their experience in public Montessori teaching practicums? Sub-questions sought to identify the expectations of novice Montessori teachers as they moved into the experience, as well as the supports available or unavailable and coping strategies employed as they moved through the experience. This qualitative transcendental phenomenological research explored the central phenomenon of 10 novice Montessori teachers’ practicum experiences in public Montessori schools in the United States. This study employed epochè, transcendental-phenomenological reduction, imaginative variation, and intuitive integration analysis and synthesis of three sources of data collection: journal prompts, individual interviews, and letter writing. Three themes emerged that the public Montessori practicum experience as Moving In – Preconceptions, Moving through – Victories and Defeats, and Moving Out – The Journey Beyond. The essence of the public Montessori practicum experience was depicted as a journey of hurdles and growth toward a finish line that extends beyond the practicum and continues throughout the teacher’s public Montessori career.

Abstract/Notes: Learning media has an important role in learning mathematics because mathematics is an abstract science and requires a deep understanding of concepts. Students have difficulty in understanding mathematics due to the teacher's monotonous explanation in class without any learning media or epraga tools. Fun learning media is interactive learning media, which allows students to use the media themselves and interact both with other students and with teachers. One example of interactive learning media is Montessori learning media. Based on observations at partner locations, it was found that mathematics teachers in elementary and secondary schools have never used Montessori learning media, therefore training on the use of Montessori-based learning media is needed for elementary and secondary school teachers so that classroom learning runs optimally in accordance with learning objectives. Training on the use of Montessori-based learning media has a positive impact on teachers, it can be seen from the final questionnaire of the training participants provide positive feedback, to this training activity, namely with data interpretation of 96%.

Abstract/Notes: Appealing for workers to train for the White Cross work, Miss Irma Weill yesterday addressed the City Teachers' club on the need of such in Belgium to educate the many orphan children who do not have the opportunities of home life. For those who are willing to go across the waters of the Atlantic to do this work, the Montessori school offers to give 10 months intensive training for the teachers. There is a big field in this line of endeavor in reconstructing civilization after the visitation of the barbarians and Miss Weill's appeal will likely result in response here. Two interesting features of the business session included arrangements for the Teachers' club to share in the Teachers' Institute to be held here the first week in November. One of the three days' sessions will be featured by a tea and reception given by the city educators. Salaries of pedagogues was also an engrossing subject.

Abstract/Notes: This dissertation describes an inquiry into Montessori-based white teachers' practices of disrupting white identity formation in the classroom through their antiracist stance. The findings within ultimately demonstrate the necessity for white teachers to grow in their understanding and practice of antiracism. Such growth is meaningful because of the role schools play in systematic white supremacy and racism. Together, the evidence and analysis add to the conversation of antiracist work and produce suggestions for deepening and expanding the potential for such growth in white teachers. In this qualitative study, evidence was collected through focus groups and phenomenological interviews with self-described antiracist white teachers who worked in schools with a student population with white students as the majority subgroup, with other subgroups providing less than 20% of the population. Using qualitative inquiry, the data provide insight into how teachers intentionally create their classroom design and how they make changes countering the hegemony through which traditional educational environments are constructed. Participant perspectives are at the heart of this study. Participants shared their hope to apply a Montessori tenet of providing experiences for the child on the subconscious and the conscious level. The teachers expressed how they have examined themselves and examined their Montessori training to uncover ways they can make changes toward being less Anglo-European centered. The data collected and conversations shared are relatable even to teachers outside of Montessori and demonstrate to white teachers with a desire to be committed to antiracism they are not alone and there are ways to make even subtle changes in their classrooms impacting the children they guide.
