In Montessori education, it’s commonplace to discuss how to support young people toward independence.
We prepare environments that are designed to for children and adolescents to experiment, to try and fail as they learn about themselves and the world. Through this process, young people also become integrated into into their classroom communities in a meaningful way.
What if we also built these environments for adults?
How can school leaders build a culture of growth and reflective practice to help adults self-actualize like our children?
I was grateful to have such a thoughtful conversation on this topic with Sue Pritzker, whose experience in Montessori leadership and developing strong teams spans decades. Our conversation started with Sue’s path as a Montessorian to lessons that all schools and school leaders can learn about transformational leadership.
For all Montessori adults, it is truly a “must listen!” Thanks, Sue for a great conversation as always!
