The Bronx New School: Weaving Assessment into the Fabric of Teaching and Learning. A Series on Authentic Assessment and Accountability
Available from: ERIC
See More
Abstract/Notes: In 1987, parents and teachers from diverse neighborhoods of a local school district in New York (New York) founded the Bronx New School, a small public elementary school of choice that was meant to be learner-centered, with high standards for all. The school was organized into heterogeneous, multi-age classes and structured to encourage collaboration among faculty, students, and families. In spite of political stresses, the school's founding values have survived. This report focuses on the first 3 years of its life, a time when a comprehensive assessment system was designed and used throughout the school. The assessment system was designed to support instruction and learning through the collection of descriptive records of student growth. Teacher-kept records, student-kept records, and samples of student work in portfolios are used in combination to develop a picture of student learning. A developmental framework constructed by teachers provides a general guide for expectations of

0-6 Early Learning Initiative
Available from: National Center for Montessori in the Public Sector (NCMPS)

Abstract/Notes: In February of 2013, President Obama announced the President’s Early Learning Initiative to focus on improving access to high-quality early care and education. Over the past four decades numerous studies — such as the Perry Preschool Study, the Abecedarian Project, the Chicago Longitudinal Study, and the Cost, Quality, and Child Outcomes Study—have indicated that high-quality early childhood education increases the likelihood that children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, will become successful students and citizens. Montessori is a well-established and time-tested approach to early learning. A growing body of research on Montessori education demonstrates the superior impact of learning environments that are structured, exploratory, and highly enriched with developmentally appropriate materials and resources. When children have a robust and positive foundation that supports strong cognition, executive functions, social-emotional development, and non-cognitive skills, they enter school and society from a place of strength. High quality Montessori education provides this foundation, and our goal is to bring it to scale for all families through the public system. NCMPS is the lead organization working in conjunction with Montessori educators, associations, and activists to bring high-quality Montessori education as a viable and accessible alternative - if not the standard approach - to 0-6 education in this country.

Braided Funding for Fully Implemented Montessori Early Learning
Available from: National Center for Montessori in the Public Sector (NCMPS)
See More
Abstract/Notes: Creating fully implemented Montessori programs in the public sector presents challenges because states and districts frequently lack funding to serve students younger than age five. Some states offer state-funded pre-K programs for three- and/or four-year-olds, but the availability of these programs varies widely. Some public Montessori programs charge tuition for three and four-year-olds to create mixed age primary classrooms. When establishing policies for how tuition-paying pre-K students will matriculate into the publicly funded program at age five, public Montessori programs should ensure their programs remain accessible to low-income families.
