Dear Montessorians,

Today, we pause to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a leader whose vision of peace, justice, and equity continues to inspire generations. His call for unity aligns deeply with Montessori principles, which emphasize respect, empathy, and the innate dignity of every individual.

Dr. Maria Montessori believed that true peace begins with the education of the child, fostering an environment where differences are celebrated, and understanding is nurtured. In our classrooms and communities, we can honor Dr. King’s dream by encouraging open dialogue, guiding children toward social responsibility, and modeling kindness in our everyday actions.

Let’s continue to cultivate a future where children grow with the values of compassion, understanding, and a commitment to making the world a more just and peaceful place.

With Gratitude,
AMI/USA

We are deeply saddened by the passing of the legendary poet, activist, and educator Nikki Giovanni. Her words have inspired generations, and her legacy will continue to illuminate hearts and minds. We were profoundly blessed to have Nikki Giovanni as our keynote at The 2023 Montessori Experience: Refresher Courses and More! Her presence, wisdom, and powerful storytelling left an indelible mark on all who attended. Our thoughts are with her loved ones and all who cherish her enduring contributions to literature and humanity.

On December 10, we join the global community in celebrating Human Rights Day, which commemorates the Universal Declaration of Human Rights—a document that set the foundation for many international human rights laws and asserted that education is a fundamental human right.

At AMI, we believe that education is key to empowering individuals, fostering equality, and building a world where every child’s voice is heard and valued.

Is this webinar for those practicing on all levels?

"I believe that this topic can be relevant to any of the age groups. I feel comfortable talking about this in terms of the other planes of development. Caroline will have a wealth of experience talking specifically about 3-6. I think we are taking a broad enough view that we can talk about how this applies across all planes as the principles are the same."
---Dr. Paige Krabill
