The AMS Emerging Leaders Fellowship Program is a year-long, professional development initiative designed for Montessori-credentialed teachers looking to take on leadership positions in the Montessori community. Through structured learning experiences, dedicated mentoring, and strategic networking opportunities, Fellows develop the skills and confidence needed to become the next generation of Montessori leaders.
Learn more about the newest cohort of the Emerging Leaders Fellowship Program, who began their journey earlier this spring in Denver during The Montessori Event.
