Partnership Options

Every successful Montessori secondary program begins with a clear vision. I work closely with schools to define what adolescent Montessori means in their unique context. Together, we explore the right model—whether it’s studio-based, farm-inspired, or a hybrid structure—and identify long-term goals that align with your school’s mission. I also help assess readiness across staff, space, and schedule, while supporting school leaders in building buy-in from families and faculty alike.

Montessori secondary classrooms thrive on purposeful, interdisciplinary learning. I support teams in developing curriculum maps that honor developmental needs and academic standards—while integrating key Montessori elements like Socratic Seminar, micro-economy, project-based learning, and advisory. Whether you’re revisiting your daily schedule or designing a thematic unit from the ground up, I help ensure your structures are both flexible and intentional.

Consistent, reflective practice is essential to a thriving adolescent program. I partner with school leaders and teaching teams to create observation systems that are growth-oriented—not evaluative. My approach focuses on offering meaningful feedback, building trust, and supporting adult development through a Montessori lens. Whether through in-person visits or video-based coaching, I help guides strengthen their practice with intentional support. I also assist administrators in designing structures for co-observation, peer feedback, and aligned expectations that foster collaboration and retention.

Adolescent guides need more than content knowledge—they need mentorship, reflection, and support to embody the role of the prepared adult. I offer coaching that includes classroom observation, post-observation feedback, co-planning sessions, and personalized professional development. For new guides or those in credentialing, I help bridge the gap between theory and day-to-day practice, with an emphasis on adolescent development, classroom culture, and relational leadership.

Montessori adolescent programs thrive when the whole community understands their value. I help schools create strong parent partnerships through workshops and communication strategies that explain the “why” behind Montessori secondary. I also guide programs in building authentic community connections, whether through service learning, civic engagement, or local partnerships. In all cases, the goal is to ensure that students feel a sense of purpose—and that families and stakeholders see the impact.
