Abstract/Notes: This father gives some brief observations of his daughter beginning at the time of her entrance into a Montessori school at the age of three years through the age of six. Through his observations and interactions with his daughter, he gains an awareness of the beauty of the work of the child and leaves the reader with a simple yet powerful conclusion regarding the relationship of the adult to the natural development of the child.

Abstract/Notes: In order to achieve the goal of observation, preparation of the adult, the observer, is necessary. This preparation, says Hilla Patell, requires us to "have an appreciation of the significance of the child's spontaneous activities and a more thorough understanding of the child's needs." She discusses the growth of both the desire to observe through a profound respect for our work and the ability to observe through practical knowledge. She outlines the attributes needed to become an effective observer and addresses the steps to be observed in the child as he progresses toward inner discipline. She finally helps us consider how to find time for observation in a busy day.

Abstract/Notes: In this interview conducted at the NAMTA conference, "Observation: The Key to Unlocking the Child's Potential", Molly O'Shaughnessy discusses the history of observation with Hilla Patell. Patell shares stories of the people who were instrumental in creating a culture of observation as an ongoing discipline to be practiced. She goes on to talk about some of the keys to understanding and practicing observation, including the child's concentration, the need to rid ourselves of preconceptions, and how to look for obstacles that impede a child's development. She tells us that as observers we must stay in the present and have "faith in the human spirit."

Abstract/Notes: In this article, Kay Baker sets out to answer the questions, "What is observation? What is the nature of observation in the elementary class? How can observation help the adult guide the development of children?" She responds by listing the areas that can be observed in the elementary class (the prepared environment, the work of the adult, the work of the child, the society created by this group, outside explorations in the large society), and discussing what observations can be made in each of those areas. She concludes with a lovely summary of what it means to be a guide to the child. [Reprinted from "AMI Communications 2" (2008): 59-63.]
