Abstract/Notes: In preparation for the centennial of Montessori education, school leaders have a unique responsibility--not only to the communities, but also to Dr. Montessori's memory--to revise the educational practices in a manner that is both respectful of her theories and responsive to a changing educational landscape. This article outlines one example of Whitby School's attempt to live up to the challenge of being an authentic Montessori school, as laid down by its founder, Nancy McCormick Rambusch. The author focuses on determining the characteristics, goals, and structure of the Second Plane of Development and addresses the needs of the children. The responsibilities of the leader of an authentic Montessori school to facilitate the thoughtful interpretation of Montessori philosophy and to foster respectful dialogue about Montessori practice, in the same manner so ardently championed by Nancy McCormick Rambusch. These are, as they always have been, the "inevitable tasks" required of authentic leaders in Montessori education. (Contains 9 figures.)

Abstract/Notes: Comment, au début du vingtième siècle, la méthode d’éducation des très jeunes enfants, conçue en Italie par la docteure en médecine et pédagogue Maria Montessori, a-t-elle diffusé en France et grâce à qui ? Telle est la question à laquelle nous tentons de répondre. Notre étude identifie d’abord les individus – au premier rang desquels une quinzaine d’éducatrices – qui, en France, avant 1914 et jusqu’au retour de la paix, ont diffusé cette méthode par des écrits, des conférences et surtout des expériences princeps. Puis, elle montre l’arrière-fond culturel et institutionnel et les valeurs (internationalité, engagement féministe et spiritualiste, compétence professionnelle) qui ont conditionné leur action. / How, at the beginning of the twentieth century, did the method of educating very young children conceived in Italy by the physician and educator Maria Montessori spread in France, and thanks to whom? This is the question that our study attempts to answer. It identifies the individuals−including some fifteen educators−who, in France, before 1914 and until the return of peace, disseminated this method through writings, conferences, and, above all, through pioneering experiences. It also shows the cultural and institutional background and the values (internationality, feminist and spiritualist commitment, professional skill) that conditioned their action.

Abstract/Notes: Bakalářská práce na téma role asistenta pedagoga na základní škole s Montessori programem se věnuje inkluzi žáků se speciálními vzdělávacími potřebami a pozici asistenta pedagoga v Montessori prostředí. Vymezili jsme vzdělávání žáků se speciálními vzdělávacími potřebami včetně nejčastějších diagnóz, se kterými se během výzkumu setkáme. Celá práce se opírá o legislativní rámec České republiky v oblasti základního vzdělávání. V práci také popisujeme alternativní vzdělávání a jeho nejčastější možnosti, včetně charakteristiky vzdělávání podle filozofie Marie Montessori. V této části se věnujeme principům Montessori pedagogiky, roli Montessori pedagoga, charakteristice prostředí i organizaci výuky, včetně forem a metod výuky. Cílem výzkumu bylo zjistit, jaká je aktuální situace ve vzdělávání žáků se speciálními vzdělávacími potřebami a v jejich podpoře v alternativní škole. Dalšími cíli bylo popsat práci asistenta pedagoga v Montessori škole s vymezením hlavních rozdílů mezi jeho rolí v Montessori škole a ve škole tradiční. V praktické části byla popsána realizace kvalitativního výzkumu, který jsme provedli za pomoci polostrukturovaných rozhovorů a s využitím metody pozorování. V praktické části jsme také popsali cíle výzkumu a výzkumné otázky, které jsme z cílů vymezili. Všechny cíle výzkumu byly splněny a otázky jsme zodpověděli. Rozhovory jsme zpracovali na a základě kódování rozdělili do několika kategorií. Práce obsahuje analýzu výsledků rozhovorů a ukázky z pozorování vyučování. V závěru práce vyhodnocujeme výsledky celého výzkumu a zodpovídáme výzkumné otázky. / This bachelor’s thesis deals with the topic of the role of teacher assistant in a primary school classroom with Montessori program, focusing on the inclusion of pupils with special educational needs and on the position of a teacher assistant in Montessori learning environment. We defined the education of pupils with special educational needs, including the most frequent diagnoses we encounter during the research. The whole paper is grounded in the legislation of the Czech Republic in the field of primary education. The paper also describes alternative education and its most common varieties and includes the characteristics of the education following Maria Montessori philosophy. This part is dedicated to the principles of the Montessori method, to the role of a Montessori teacher, to the characteristics of the classroom environment as well as to the teaching organisation, including teaching forms and methods. The object of this research was to find out about the current situation in educating pupils with special educational needs and in their support in the alternative classroom environment. Another object was to describe the work of a teacher assistant in a Montessori school, defining the basic differences between their role in a Montessori school and in a traditional school. The practical part of the paper describes the implementation of a qualitative research, which was carried out by means of semi-structured interviews and the method of observation. The research objects and the research questions defined by the objects were also described in the practical part. All the research goals were achieved, and all the questions were answered. The interviews were processed and divided into several categories based on coding. The paper contains an analysis of the results of the interviews and illustrations of lesson observations. In the paper conclusion the whole research results are assessed and the research questions are answered.

Abstract/Notes: Base-10 and place value understanding are important foundational math concepts that are associated with higher use of decomposition strategies and higher accuracy on addition problems (Laski, Ermakova, & Vasilyeva, 2014; Fuson, 1990; Fuson & Briars, 1990; National Research Council, 2001). The current study examined base-10 knowledge, place value, and arithmetic accuracy and strategy use for children in early elementary school from Montessori and non-Montessori schools. Children (N = 150) were initially tested in either kindergarten or first grade. We followed up with a subgroup of the sample (N = 53) two years later when the children were in 2nd and 3rd grade. Although Montessori curriculum puts a large emphasis on the base-10 structure of number, we found that children from Montessori schools only showed an advantage on correct use of base-10 canonical representation in kindergarten but not in first grade. Moreover, there were no program differences in place value understanding in 2nd and 3rd grade. Although Montessori children used different strategies to obtain answers to addition problems in 2nd and 3rd grade as compared with non-Montessori children, there were no program differences in addition accuracy at any grade level. Educational implications are discussed.
