Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Public Montessori Research
Q: What are the most important factors districts consider before adopting Montessori, and how can leaders prepare a solid roadmap?
Key factors include local context, funding, facilities, staff training, professional development, and family engagement; a strong roadmap involves demystifying Montessori, securing stakeholder buy-in through town halls, and ensuring a scalable plan that starts small and grows.
Public Montessori Research
Q: Would you share a little bit about that research and what it found about district leaders' knowledge and perceptions of Montessori?
The research shows many district leaders already have some foundational knowledge of Montessori, and even those with limited background can be positively influenced when presented with literature reviews and empirical research, leading to interest and potential adoption.
New Montessori Decodable Books
Q: What makes these decodable books different from others on the market?
They avoid flat, disconnected imagery and simple line drawings; instead, they use beautiful design, real-world themes, and Montessori-aligned materials that children encounter daily, ensuring the content feels authentic and engaging.
New Montessori Decodable Books
Q: How do these books intersect with the science of reading?
They are designed around structured literacy with phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, but are implemented in a Montessori framework that emphasizes multi-sensory learning and authentic materials, bridging both approaches.
New Montessori Decodable Books
Q: Could you share the story of what inspired you to create this new reading series?
I saw a gap between strong phonics instruction and Montessori principles, wanting decodable books that are truly Montessori-aligned, diverse, and connected to real classroom life, to help all children access reading with joy and confidence.
