“The Montessori Event, in many ways, represents the foundation of the American Montessori Society,” said Munir Shivji, executive director of the American Montessori Society. “The goal of The Montessori Event is to bring together leaders and practitioners in the Montessori movement to take their skills and passion to the next level, all for the purpose of furthering the mission of AMS to improve education through Montessori.”

Over 100 presenters and 200 sessions are available for teachers, heads of schools, public school superintendents, and directors of teacher education programs.

The Montessori Event includes impactful workshop presentations on varying topics such as post-Covid learning, creating anti-bias, anti-racist learning environments, and many topics of interest to K-12 teachers.
