Abstract/Notes: The beginnings of the dissertation by Esther Grindel, holder of the Montessori diploma and former assistant at the Montessori Centre, also date back to this time. The survey analyses in an empirical way how and under which conditions highly gifted primary school children can learn according to their individual competencies and needs in the periods of Free Work, which is a characteristic way of learning in the Montessori Method. On the basis of four descriptive case studies of highly gifted students of a Montessori primary school typical structures of their ways of learning during the Montessori Free Work are investigated in a comparative analysis. The results, which are discussed in the context of current findings of the research on high abilities, are of great interest to both the Montessori schools and for the fostering at regular schools. A publication of the work as part of the series “Impulses of New Education” is in preparation.

Abstract/Notes: Les approches centrées sur la personne constituent un modèle d’accompagnement des personnes âgées présentant des troubles cognitifs en plein développement au cours des dernières années. Ses bénéfices ont été bien documentés, mais la mise en œuvre concrète de ses grands principes reste parfois floue. Dans ce contexte, la méthode Montessori adaptée aux personnes âgées en constitue une des propositions d’application concrète. Elle intègre la vision et les grands principes humanistes de la pédagogie scientifique de Maria Montessori et des outils et techniques de réhabilitation. Elle vise à redonner à la personne du contrôle sur sa vie, à favoriser son engagement dans des activités porteuses de sens et à lui redonner une place et un rôle dans la communauté. Dans cette revue de littérature, nous aborderons dans un premier temps de manière générale le courant des approches centrées sur la personne, puis nous présenterons de manière plus détaillée l’historique et les principes de la méthode Montessori adaptée aux personnes âgées afin d’en proposer une vision claire et structurée. [Person-centered approaches are a model of support for older people with cognitive disorders that have been developing in recent years. Its benefits have been well documented, but the concrete implementation of its main principles sometimes remains unclear. In this context, the Montessori method adapted to the elderly constitutes one of the proposals for concrete application. It integrates the vision and the main humanist principles of the scientific pedagogy of Maria Montessori and the tools and techniques of rehabilitation. It aims to give the person back control over his life, to encourage his involvement in meaningful activities and to give him back a place and a role in the community. In this literature review, we will first approach the current of person-centered approaches in a general way, then we will present in more detail the history and principles of the Montessori method adapted to the elderly in order to propose a clear and structured vision.]

Abstract/Notes: "Pre-Katrina" and "Post-Katrina" are common terms for time frames these days in New Orleans, often reminding me of the BCE/CE timeline distinctions. You hear "Pre-Katrina" and "Post-Katrina" on the news, in the paper, and in everyday conversations. Although more and more people have moved back to New Orleans, businesses and restaurants are open, the St. Charles streetcar is running again, and normal life is continuing, Hurricane Katrina is still an everyday topic of conversation. In the midst of the constant reminders of the storm, Montessori education proved to be a stabilizing force in our school community. This is the story of how one public Montessori survived and redefined itself after Hurricane Katrina. (Contains 1 footnote.)
