Montessori Activism

Activism, in a general sense, can be described as intentional action to bring about social, political, economic, or environmental change. This action is in support of, or opposition to, one side of an often controversial argument.

Lately I find myself thinking about Montessori Activism and in the next few posts I will share some of these thoughts and questions.  In this post I would like to share a short list of activism movements.

• Women’s Rights
• Racial Equality
• Gay Rights
• Labor Movement
• Environmentalism

Compare the Montessori movement to these activism movements and next post I will share some of my thoughts.

Ask a Mentor

The Montessori Teachers Institute of Professional Studies is now offering an online mentor program for Montessori teachers with groups for Infant community, Primary (3-6) and Elementary (6-12).

If you are not familiar with MTIPS, here is the Mission Statement

The mission of the Montessori Teachers Institute for Professional Studies is to provide experienced Montessori teachers the opportunity to move beyond the initial learning gained from Montessori training courses and the first years of classroom teaching by offering a variety of services that will advance their knowledge, improve their skills as practitioners, and raise the standard of excellence in their schools and classrooms.
