Partners in Montessori Education

What is ‘Partners in Montessori Education’?

Partners in Montessori Education is an evolving professional organisation for authentically trained Montessori practitioners from any Montessori training background which offers its members ways to come together to discuss, debate and collaborate on the questions, issues and concerns facing Montessori practitioners today.

 

The Aim of the Organisation

Our aim is to grow and consolidate a community of committed and passionate Montessorians in order to:

  • sustain, develop and extend authentic, reflective Montessori practice in the face of the challenges presented by 21st century education systems;
  • advocate for the Montessori approach with greater strength at both the local and national level;
  • develop Montessori training and mentoring in ways that will enable it to meet the needs both of today’s student teachers and of the children they will go on to work with;
  • support research into Montessori theory and practice;
  • reach out more effectively to parents.
