Growth of Public Montessori in the United States: 1975-2014
See More
Abstract/Notes: The last fifteen years have witnessed a surge of interest in Montessori education. This interest is evident in a rise in research on Montessori, increased mainstream press, and the opening of new Montessori schools. This growth in Montessori programs is evident not just in the private but also in the public sector, where we estimate that over 300 new public Montessori programs have opened since 2000.

Abstract/Notes: A deep sense of care and reverence honoring children has been central to many Indigenous nations for millennia, long before Maria Montessori first articulated ideas around following the child or the sacredness of childhood. This chapter argues that education, particularly in the United States, including Montessori education, is rooted in ideologies often aimed at erasing Indigenous people. The chapter begins by naming reasons Indigenous communities utilize Montessori practices for reclamation of their children’s education. It then confronts how Montessori has been and, in some instances, continues to be weaponized against Indigenous children and their communities. The chapter concludes with a vision for an Indigenized Montessori practice as a tool for creating culturally sustaining environments honoring, uplifting, and centering the languages, cultures, values, and knowledge of the Tribal Nations in which it is utilized.

Abstract/Notes: This chapter explores critical race theory (CRT) within Montessori contexts from the perspective of people of the global majority residing in the U.S. with implications for other oppressed groups globally. CRT developed from American legal scholarship in the 1970s to explain the persistence of racism after the Civil Rights Movement’s apparent success. CRT argues that the legacies of racism persist and provides an analytical lens to examine the ways that racism pervades various facets of life, including education. This chapter examines how Montessori education infused with culturally relevant pedagogy (CRP) and anti-bias/anti-racist (ABAR) curricula and can be a viable alternative to educational systems that perpetuate white supremacy and fail students of the global majority and other marginalized groups. However, the chapter also challenges aspects of Montessori practice that retain a Eurocentric perspective to the exclusion of other cultural, racial, and linguistic groups’ contributions.

Abstract/Notes: This chapter recounts the 100-year history of the Montessori movement in the United States and the role of Montessori within the contemporary American education landscape. We explore the origins of Montessori education in the US in the early 1900s, the mid-century revival of Montessori in private schools, and the growth of Montessori programs in public schools in conjunction with the school desegregation and charter school movements. We also situate Montessori education within a national context, including teacher education, education research, and questions of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice. We conclude with considerations for the future of the Montessori movement in the United States.
