Donahoe, Marta – Montessori Life: A Publication of the American Montessori Society, 2009
Montessori teachers know that no matter how many books they read on child development and brain research, there is no substitute for observing children, seeing them, noticing them, and especially, in the case of the adolescent, being quiet long enough for them to talk. Wanting to know more about the hidden depths of the adolescent soul, the author…

Edwards, Daneell – Afterschool Matters, 2005
The term "doing hair" is utterly familiar. However, while the term can refer to simple acts of combing, brushing, washing, and styling hair, in the culture of adolescent African-American girls, doing hair is a social practice that represents power, creativity, and sometimes popularity. This article describes a three-month afterschool…
