How Montessori History Fuels Today’s Innovations in Education

During this AMI Talk, Dr John Exalto explores the concept of the grammar of school - the inherent resistance of established educational systems to innovation and change. Drawing on several historical examples from Montessori’s era, inspired in part by her method, John illustrates how every generation and educational context requires its own visionaries and advocates to drive progress.

The second speaker, Sarah Kiteleja, Executive Director of the Montessori Community of Tanzania, discusses how her work fosters environments that empower children for holistic development while advocating for equitable access to quality Early Childhood Care and Education.
