Abstract/Notes: This research is a case study of African American parent involvement at a urban Montessori school in Minnesota. African American parents at this school have had limited involvement in conferences, PTSO meetings, school activities, and on the Site-Based Leadership Team. An examination of the literature was made to investigate the influences on African American parents when they make decisions about their parental involvement. This research covered the historical background, theoretical background, implications, racial barriers, and strategies that increased African American parent involvement. An ethnography was designed to gather data from 9 mothers of African American students. These parents provided information about their backgrounds and their experiences with the school. Staff at the school (6) were interviewed as to their experiences with African American parent involvement. The results of the study offer findings on attitudes, perceptions, needs and ideas for improving African American parent involvement at any school.

Abstract/Notes: Montessori education is a popular way of education in the world. Although this method has been passed around the world for many years, it became popular in China's education system in the 1990s. However, parents in China either choose to believe in Montessori's influence and significance on their children or choose to keep their children educated only in traditional Chinese culture. There are some kindergartens in China where China Sinology and Montessori education coexist. Current studies lack discussion on the impact of the integration of Montessori education and Sinology education on children. Both Montessori education and Sinology have their special advantages for children's cognitive development. This research aims to explore the influence of the Montessori teaching method and Chinese traditional education on the language cognitive development of 3–6 years-old-children.

Abstract/Notes: As educators in the public sector confront the challenge of guiding all students toward academic success, policies and practices associated with prevention, early screening, and identification of learning needs have moved to the center of the enterprise of schooling. This article is about the lessons that accompany that challenge, and their particular applicability to Montessori educators. Historically, Montessori theory and practice have influenced the development of special education pedagogy. In some cases, as in Ireland, Montessori training and special education training have been explicitly combined. In other cases, Montessori practices, such as child study, the use of manipulative materials, and a focus on choice and individualization, have made their way into special education pedagogy through subtle cross-fertilization among practitioners. More recently, however, developments in special education policy have begun to influence Montessori practice. This article examines why and how that influence has evolved as it has. More important, the author probes the potential of recent developments in special education policy to enhance Montessori practice. What are the natural affinities between special education and Montessori practice? What specific pedagogical moves lie at the core of following the child? How might Montessorians more effectively leverage the unique properties of the prepared environment and the prepared adult to better serve all children? The answers to these questions illuminate how progressive, data-centered approaches to identifying and responding to students with learning differences can make the process of following the child more transparent, more equitable, and more successful.
