School Improvement and Accreditation: How AMS Can Support Your School's Goals

Pages: 19-20

Abstract/Notes: Benefits of AMS school accreditation include: * Providing a road map for ongoing reflection, evaluation, and improvement of programs * Offering families assurance of a quality Montessori education at a school that meets a global standard of excellence * Promoting community among staff members who are integral to the mission and vision of the school * Being recognized in many states that grant AMS-accredited schools significant advantages, such as recognition within a state's quality rating and improvement system (QRIS) or exemption from particular state licensing requirements * Recognition by the National Council for Private School Accreditation, providing automatic dual accreditation when AMS accreditation is granted * Enabling cooperative accreditation with 20+ national and regional accrediting associations-earning multiple accreditations for the work of one! [...]schools incrementally work through the verification, reflection, and strategic planning of the school accreditation process. Promoting the delivery of quality Montessori education is a priority of AMS, so we sought to design a method of support for our member schools to pursue continuous improvement that could lead to accreditation in a Montessori way-incrementally and at a manageable pace that suits each individual school.

Culture, Race, Diversity: How Montessori Spells Success in Public Schools

Available from: ProQuest

Publication: Montessori Life, vol. 18, no. 4

Pages: 9

Abstract/Notes: Addressing the many complex issues associated with culture, race, and diversity is tough under any circumstances. But such issues become even more complex in school settings where large numbers of students speak different languages and reflect diverse ethnicities and socioeconomic statuses. In this article, the author describes how the faculty members and the administrators at Fort Wayne Community Schools (FWCS) in Indiana found a balance between quality education and student diversity. FWCS offers a district-wide school choice program that features a number of different educational offerings. Interestingly, as the district's student population (nearly 32,000) has become increasingly diverse--it now has about 80 languages/dialects represented by students--its Montessori magnet program has grown more successful. The author also relates that FWCS' Montessori magnet program is superbly suited to prepare students to flourish in culturally and racially diverse environments. As such, it is highly in demand among parents.

John McDermott and the Road to Montessori Public Schools

Available from: ProQuest

Publication: Montessori Life, vol. 26, no. 3

Pages: 46-49

See More

Abstract/Notes: In this article, the author states that, for over 45 years, she has explored the issues of leadership and change, and, along the way, she has examined how diversity fits in with these ideas. She states that she found all three of these concepts embodied in the person of John McDermott, a leader in the American Montessori movement in the United States. McDermott helped establish the framework for putting Montessori education into an American cultural context. His message was always the need for public education, the necessity of embracing African-Americans and the poor in Montessori schools, and the damage to cities caused by white flight. McDermott held to his view that the quality of public education was key to the future of the republic. He decried the economic and social disparity between poor urban and inner-city schools and those of the affluent middle class, along with the ever-widening gap between the poor and the affluent and between blacks, Latinos, and whites. McDermott continued to stress the need to make Montessori education relevant to present problems, although he did not view Montessori education as a single solution to the problems in American education. He challenged the American Montessori Society to examine the ways in which growth and change occur in America.
