Montessori Internationalism and Peace: Unifying History, Geography, and Nature
Portland, OR
March 11-14, 2010

Montessori’s true vision of peace emerges as a convergent point of all studies with a special focus on history, geography, and nature as the keys to understanding the world as a unity with a common destiny. The conference will present an unfolding perspective on peace, defined first by the optimal formation of the individual human personality and second through a view of human collaboration and solidarity in an overarching great work that can be accessed through the study of science and history. The child, then, is a citizen of the world; the great lessons are those that pertain to sustainability and the interdependency of life on earth; and the ultimate studies are about cultures very different from one’s own.

Information & Communication Technologies and Montessori Pedagogy: Converging Revolutionary Approaches 
(Technology combined with Annual Adolescent Conference)
Chicago, IL

April 15-18, 2010 
This conference will explore ways to find the right proportion of computer use for the growing child, according to ages and stages, without changing the character of the Montessori “hands-on” prepared environment. Use of technology should supplement or complement the Montessori curriculum, support the student discovery approach, and avoid the lockstep, programmed learning elements so often associated with computer-assisted instruction. In the right context, technology affords exposure to big ideas and contemporary contexts that inspire inventive and advanced thinking as Montessori education is meant to do.
