Her Montessori method of education is widely used all round the world. Many educationalists say it is the best system for child education. Montessori was also a doctor, philosopher and philanthropist. She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize three times for her work.

Montessori was the first woman to graduate from the University of Rome’s Medical School. She trained as a psychiatrist and was interested in educating the "mentally retarded" and others with learning difficulties. She had great success when her class of “problematic” 8-year-olds had above-average scores in state reading and writing tests. This was described as "the first Montessori miracle."

Hearing about Maria’s achievements, Rome’s government asked her to start her own children’s school. In 1907, the Casa del Bambini opened in a poor neighbourhood of Rome. Montessori experimented with a philosophy she called “spontaneous self-development”, which meant letting children develop and learn at their own pace. Her methods once again met with great success. More schools opened and she gained worldwide fame.

Montessori was exiled from Italy because she refused to allow her schools to turn children into soldiers. She lived in Spain until the Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936. In 1939 she moved to India and spent ten years working on training courses, which are still seen as innovative today. She traveled the world lecturing until her death in 1952.

PEZ

Mother Teresa was born in Albania in 1910, and died in 1997. Her real name is Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. She became famous the world over for starting the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India. She began this work in 1950 and for over forty years, she looked after the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her humanitarian work.

Agnes developed an interest in helping the less fortunate at a very young age. She was fascinated by stories of people who dedicated their life to help others. She decided to become a nun when she was 12. She joined the Sisters of Loreto as a missionary when she was 18. She initially went to Ireland, to learn English.

She arrived in India in 1929 and became a nun two years later. The poverty and suffering she saw around her in Calcutta deeply disturbed her. A famine in 1943 killed thousands and worsened the situation. In 1946 she received a call from God. "I was to leave the convent and help the poor while living among them. It was an order,” she said.

She was an international symbol of charity, visiting many countries to help poor children. At the time of her death, her organization was operating in 123 countries. After she died, the

Pope started the process that might one day make her a saint. An international survey ranked her as the "most admired person of the 20th Century."

She made her mark on the world…Sister Teresa’s Deep Dark Secret

Pierre Morad Omidyar born June 21, 1967 is a French-American entrepreneur and philanthropist, who is the founder and chairman of the eBay auction site. He became a billionaire at the age of 31 with eBay's 1998 Initial Public Offering (IPO). Omidyar and his wife Pamela are well-known philanthropists who founded Omidyar Network in 2004 which has committed more than $270 million to for-profit companies and nonprofit organizations that foster economic advancement and encourage individual participation across multiple investment areas, including property rights, government transparency, and social media.

Omidyar was born in Paris, France to Iranian immigrant parents. The family moved to the US when Omidyar was a child.

eBay In 1995, at the age of 28, Omidyar launched an online service called Auction Web which would eventually become the auction site eBay.[8]

It was hosted on a site Omidyar had created for information on the ebola virus. The first item sold on the site was a broken laser pointer. Omidyar was astonished that anyone would pay for the device in its broken state, but the buyer assured him he was deliberately collecting broken laser pointers. Similar surprises followed. The business exploded as correspondents began to register trade goods of an unimaginable variety.

Omidyar collected a small fee on each sale to finance the expansion of the site. The revenue soon surpassed his salary and nine months later Omidyar dedicated his full attention to his new enterprise.

By 1996, he offered airline tickets online, the site had hosted 250,000 auctions. In the first month of 1997, it hosted 2 million. By the middle of that year, eBay was hosting nearly 800,000 auctions a day.

In 1997, Pierre Omidyar changed the company's name to eBay and began to advertise the service aggressively. The word "eBay" was made up on the fly by Omidyar when he was told that his first choice for his web site, "echobay", had already been registered. Not wanting to make a second trip to Sacramento, he came up with "eBay". The frequently repeated story that eBay was founded to help Omidyar's fiancée trade Pez candy dispensers was fabricated by a public relations manager in 1997 to interest the media. The service was free at first, but started charging in order to cover internet service provider costs. eBay still charges 10% of sales as a final sale fee.

Omidyar Network is a philanthropic investment firm dedicated to harnessing the power of markets to create opportunity for people to improve their lives. Established in

2004 by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar and his wife Pam, the organization invests in and helps scale innovative organizations to catalyze economic, social, and political change. Pierre Omidyar is worth $8.5 billion (US) as of September 2013, making him the 123rd richest person in the world.

He is the world's most famous Buddhist monk. He campaigns for freedom in Tibet and peace in the world.

Tenzin became Dalai Lama when he was just two years old. He became Tibet’s ruler in November 1950, when he was fifteen. This was just one month after China took over Tibet. His first big job was to try and save his country from Chinese rule. He tried for nine years, but then had to escape to India. He has never been back.

He traveled to the West – to Europe and the Americas. Thousands of people welcomed him. He has helped to spread love and harmony across the globe. He gives speeches wherever he goes and he has won many awards. He got the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. He is always a famous figure on the news and is never without a huge smile.

The Dalai Lama has been one of the best-loved and most well-known world leaders for many decades. He continues to ask China to give his Tibetan people more control over their land. He makes Chinese leaders angry by talking about

Tibet. One day he might meet them and talk about a better and brighter future.

Observation form….choose which you prefer from:

www.scribd.com - Michael D. Kingwww.reference.comwww.warrenk12nc.org/docs/staffforms/EC-12 (21)

Room conditions (critique as you observe): light, air, posters on the walls, stimulating areas, reading areas, work spaces, etc.)

Is the teacher prepared? Planning for the day is done? Presenting clearly the activities and understanding the directions/INSTRUCTIONS. Do the students understand the message and the task? Remember! understanding can be based on the student’s personal ability -- nothing to do with the teacher’s ability to relate or explain well.

Use of classroom time? Are activities varied to keep students’ ongoing attention? (Short attention span with small children)

Relationship with the students---correcting—Let the student get on with it!!! Then go back and correct….Listening? Does the teacher listen to the students? Humility, kindness, respectful, angry outbursts, dealing with problem behaviours properly…. Bullism? Anger? Aggression? Stealing?

Final report…As you make progress observing the classroom and the students and their interaction with the teacher and each other, you will not need the form…..so you will become less dependent on it but use it at first!

He gives speeches wherever he goes and he has won many awards. He got the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. He is always a famous figure on the news and is never without a huge smile.

Tibet. One day he might meet them and talk about a better and brighter future.

Lesson 4.12.2013 and 11.12.2013

1. Peer evaluation: delivery, clarity, patience, repeating instructions, assuring students understand, etc. 2. Teacher evaluation: quality of the teacher, delivery, receiving the message clearly, students’ reaction and interaction, vocabulary, syntax, sequence…TO GAUGE THE CONSISTENT SUCCESS OF A TEACHER

3. Student evaluation

> Social/Emotional contexts> Physical contexts> Classroom Performance in context

Observation form….choose which you prefer from:

www.scribd.com - Michael D. Kingwww.reference.comwww.warrenk12nc.org/docs/staffforms/EC-12 (21)

Room conditions (critique as you observe): light, air, posters on the walls, stimulating areas, reading areas, work spaces, etc.)

Is the teacher prepared? Planning for the day is done? Presenting clearly the activities and understanding the directions/INSTRUCTIONS. Do the students understand the message and the task? Remember! understanding can be based on the student’s personal ability -- nothing to do with the teacher’s ability to relate or explain well.

Use of classroom time? Are activities varied to keep students’ ongoing attention? (Short attention span with small children)

Relationship with the students---correcting—Let the student get on with it!!! Then go back and correct….Listening? Does the teacher listen to the students? Humility, kindness, respectful, angry outbursts, dealing with problem behaviours properly…. Bullism? Anger? Aggression? Stealing?

Final report…As you make progress observing the classroom and the students and their interaction with the teacher and each other, you will not need the form…..so you will become less dependent on it but use it at first!
