2013
Montessori for Social Justice was founded in 2013. After an impromptu gathering at the AMI International
Montessori Congress members of the national Montessori community who attended began catalyzing relationships and resource sharing.
The first resource offered was a listserv email, where they shared research, narratives, and offered support to those who had a personal commitment to public Montessori, and social justice. The group grew large in a short time, and there was a consensus that those who advocate for public Montessori, and those advocating for social justice in Montessori education should meet.
