Abstract/Notes: Among the various forms of assessment that Montessori teachers use in the schools at the pre-primary levels, checklists are very common. Yet it has been found that most teachers use these to write reports rather than to modify classroom practices or their perceptions. My study shows that they form an ideal tool for Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation, particularly in the lower grades, where children are not yet ready for tests and exams. It also tracks their impact on teacher learning and change in four schools in Karnataka. Questions for the study are How is a common checklist used for Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation in Montessori schools? What change does it bring about in classroom practices in the process of its implementation? The checklists in this study were developed in the process of teacher training in an NGO program and refined later in discussions and from teacher feedbacks. They were used in the present investigation and the impact studied over a period of 1 ½ to 2 ½ years. At the beginning of the program, teachers were trained in utilizing it to list the lessons given by them to the pupils. Over the years, they were helped to use the list to track learning outcomes. They were also shown how to use them to adapt their work to suit the needs of their pupils. Data for this study was collected as field notes, check lists filled by teachers, interviews with facilitators who acted as mentors as well as teachers, and reports and analysed inductively. The results show that checklists in a Montessori classroom supported by mentoring can be an effective way of continuously evaluating and improving the learning in students.

Abstract/Notes: In the last issue of Montessori Life (Volume 29, Number 4, Winter 2018, p. 25), we reported on AMS's Rebuild Your School campaign, for Montessori schools impacted by the late-summer hurricanes. Since publication, more donations have come in-bringing the total amount we received to $67,800. [...]students at Country Meadows Montessori School, an Associate-Member school, in Gurnee, IL, raised funds for hurricane relief through their Spare Change Challenge-an annual event in which coins earn points equal to their value (a nickel = 5 points, etc.). Two retired Montessori teachers drove a van full of Montessori materials and care kits to Texas from Oregon; an intercity Charleston public school class raised $570 and personally presented it to her when she was there; a head of school from Virginia flew to Texas with 3 suitcases of donations to deliver them personally to Betsy; and one school administration matched the money earned by the students.
