We are proud to announce the recent graduates of our second cohort of AMS Teacher Education Director Academy—a program designed to transform and uplift Montessori teacher education through innovation, excellence, and leadership.
These dedicated individuals have completed a comprehensive course of study that supports and strengthens the skills and knowledge essential for leading high-quality, sustainable Montessori teacher education programs. Whether they are emerging leaders or seasoned directors, our graduates are now equipped with the tools to design and deliver adult learner-centered programs—from crafting a compelling vision and building a robust curriculum to guiding learners through to graduation and beyond.
In addition, Director Academy graduates are well-prepared to lead teacher education programs through successful self-studies and navigate the AMS affiliation process with clarity and confidence.
Please join us in congratulating these passionate and visionary educators as they step into their roles as catalysts for growth and excellence in Montessori teacher education.
