Leading Reflective Practices in Montessori Schools

In this paper, we report the results of a qualitative study examining the development of leadership competencies as Montessori school leaders gain experience using a coaching protocol with their teachers. Extending previous work, the emphasis is on the school leaders’ specific roles as instructional supervisors leading reflective practices. National standards, both traditional and Montessori, are a foundation to investigate a group of Montessori school leaders’ development in reference to articulated competencies, specifically for the school leader to tend to their own learning and effectiveness through reflection, study, and improvement, and to empower teachers to the highest levels of professional practice and to continuous learning and improvement. After the use of a prescribed coaching protocol, 12 Montessori school leaders from 6 schools across the United States were interviewed using a set of semistructured questions. The study results support that reflective practices lead to both improvement of practice with this group of Montessori school leaders and their respective teachers. We conclude that self-reflection is critical to a Montessori leader’s success, empowering them to model and influence reflective practices, with direct impacts on teacher reflection and school improvement. This conclusion becomes relevant as we observe our Montessori school leaders assuming numerous and complicated administrative roles, from management and teacher evaluation to instructional supervision, mentoring, and coaching teachers.

Un primordiale modello di "banca del tempo" nel progetto montessoriano di istituzione delle case dei bambini

The contribution intends to reflect on a primordial model of time bank, by the project of Montessori school, in 1907. Maria Montessori and Edoardo Talamo, director of the Istitution of Stable Assets in Rome, were convinced that hygiene was as instrument of “civilization”; care of the environment, private and public, was for Montessori the tool to convince mothers to accept to enroll children to school and to collaborate in the management of the children’s school: Montessori and teachers would take care of the physical, mental and moral children’s health and mothers would make their female skills available to the school community, collaborating with the teachers to environment’s care. Teachers and mothers were equally called to donate to each other a part of their daily time, for the well-being of the children. Time is leitmotif of Montessori method, because it is considered a valuable tool for “dilating pedagogy”.

Maintaining an empowered school community: Introducing digital technologies by building digital literacies at Beehive Montessori School

In 2019, educators at Beehive Montessori School (Beehive) in Western Australia implemented their self-defined digital literacies framework. The framework guided their approach to, and use of, digital technologies in their classrooms. Doing so came out of a whole school action research project in which the school became a hub for inquiry and educators, and researchers worked together to identify issues and develop improvement processes. At the project conclusion, the educators and researchers had collaboratively defined a solution that met the mandated curriculum needs and fitted with the school autonomy. Most importantly the project and the solution empowered educators, as it aligned with the school-identified virtues and utilized the three-period lesson to teach it, all of which was consistent with Montessori pedagogy.
