​Addressing the Teacher Shortage - ​#ConsiderMontessori

Recently, Frontline Education, a non-profit educational organization, surveyed over 1,200 school leaders and found that “two-thirds of the survey respondents report teacher shortages, a record high” (May 2021). The Montessori movement is not immune from this teacher shortage, and given the pandemic, this crisis might be further exacerbated.
Therefore, AMI/USA has been working diligently with AMI global to understand and address this crisis. To that end, we have recently launched a two-month long soft campaign, called #ConsiderMontessori. With this campaign, we are asking individuals to explore Montessori as a teaching career option; as a holistic developmental educational option for children; and as a way to enhance one’s parenting skills.
