Center for Partnership Education of the Montessori Foundation In April of 2005, the Montessori Foundation inaugurated its Center for Partnership Education. The Center combines Riane Eisler’s Partnership education and Montessori education. It is developing new and exciting curriculum themes that expand and deepen Montessori education. It is also using the partnership model to help build strong and harmonious school communities that bring together teachers, staff members, administration, parents, and students. With the assistance of Montessori Foundation President Tim Seldin and the noted Montessori educator Jonathan Wolff, as well as Riane Eisler, two pilot partnership education Montessori schools are developing materials, and will be test sites starting in 2006. Eisler writes: “As did Maria
Montessori, I also came to the inevitable conclusion that in
order to create a peaceful world, we must lay the foundation in
our children, beginning when they are very young. But the connections between my ideas and Maria Montessori go much deeper. In my book Tomorrow’s Children, I quote from Montessori’s works, and use the great themes in Montessori education to illustrate many of the reforms that I have urged to transform the schools of today into the schools that we need for tomorrow’s children. The task of translating my suggestions into practical application in the classroom has only begun. I hope that this is the beginning of a long and mutually beneficial partnership between us. Many good teachers are engaged in an effort to develop partnership education in a wide range of classrooms and schools, from those in public settings to holistic schools. My colleague, Ron Miller has begun the first graduate program in partnership education at Goddard College. But I am concerned that this concept is so vast that it will overwhelm many teachers who attempt to implement partnership education without both a clearly defined overarching framework for the structure of their classrooms and schools and a curricular framework of practical resources and suggested lessons and activities. I earnestly hope that Montessori educators will play a central role in the translation of the principles and themes of partnership education into something tangible and replicable that can be understood and adapted by schools around the world. I am delighted that we are beginning to work together in partnership, with the twin goals of translating my ideas into something that can be used in classrooms around the world, while at the same time adding further on to a model of education that is already outstanding, establishing Montessori in the minds of educators around the world as a germinally important contributor to the effort to improve education around the world.” For more

we understand the cultural, social and political
configurations of the partnership and domination models,
we can more effectively develop the educational methods,
materials and institutions that foster a less violent,
more equitable, democratic, and sustainable future.”
