News and Further Learning. The Magic of Grace and Courtesy. After observing in toddlers or primary, prospective parents invariably comment upon how civilized it is, how the children get along so well and are so respectful of each other and their teachers. “How do Montessori children know how to wait for a turn, respect someone else’s space, walk in the classroom instead of run, ask politely for help or offer to help someone else?

News and Further Learning. I remember the first time I ever heard the question. It was during my first or second week of high school, and in one of my classes someone asked, “Is this going to be on the test? 8221; I was sitting in my freshman science class and my first thought was, “Why would it matter?

By not worryi...Kate ...

News and Further Learning: A Classroom Without Walls

http://childpeace-workerbee.blogspot.com/2012/02/classroom-without-walls.html

News and Further Learning. A Classroom Without Walls. We each have an incredible gift: the ability to engage children with the world – indeed, the universe, that surrounds them and, of which, they are an integral part. We wait for the “ah-has.” It is up to the students, alone or collectively, to do the work of the synapses – to make those links, to leap the gaps between ideas towards a holistic understanding of everything around and within them.

News and Further Learning: MMM Students Working Together on Real Problems

http://childpeace-workerbee.blogspot.com/2015/02/mmm-students-working-together-on-real.html

News and Further Learning. MMM Students Working Together on Real Problems. A couple of weeks ago, MMM presented Shakespeare's Twelfth Night to a full house. This play was chosen by students through vote, and was almost entirely student-run, from costumes to blocking, etc. It was a tremendously well-received production, energizing our students in every way. The audience never knew that just days before the performance, students had butted up against significant hiccups. Yes, lots. Was there crying? This w...

Just a Theory: Culture

http://justatheory.com/culture

Theory waxes practical. By David E. Wheeler. I got an invitation to write on Medium. A couple weeks ago. I have been pondering some more philosophical posts lately, so I thought I’d try posting there. My first post, Misguided Delusion. Tries to pull apart the the false dichotomy between faith and rationality. Yeah, really. That kind of thinking is a throwback to a previous career path. But one that has, of course, always stuck with me. And I am very happy with how the post turned out. Wed 24 Apr 2013.
