July 17, 2023—The AMS Emerging Leaders Fellowship Program is a professional development initiative that provides a year of structured learning, mentoring, and networking opportunities to Montessori-credentialed teachers who have not yet assumed leadership positions in the Montessori community—but would like to. Fellows develop the skills and confidence to raise their commitment to Montessori education to the next level.
Learn more about Cohort 6 of the Emerging Leaders Fellowship Program, who began their journey earlier this spring in Boston during The Montessori Event.
