Montessori Leadership: History, Context and a Collective Vision for the Future

Abstract

The sustainable development of the Montessori Method of education throughout times of change demands strong and transparent leadership. This research examined the historical perspectives and the context of the American Montessori Society Living Legacy leadership paths as well as interviews with living legacy recipients. Analysis of narratives of experience revealed how the collective visions of Montessori leaders thematically intersect with the sustainability and growth of Montessori education and future Montessori leaders.
