Heading a (Montessori) School. Peters, D. L. Montessori Life: A Publication of the American Montessori Society, 17(4):30–32, 2005. Publisher: American Montessori Society, 1112 Glenwood Ave., Nichols Hills, OKPaper abstract bibtex Though Montessori schools have a unique mission, philosophy, and pedagogy, all independent schools have similar demands, functions, and requirements governing board care and education, state and federal mandates and compliances, child care, parent care and education, fundraising, financial standards, employment standards, and care of employees. In the end, the head of a school needs to be able to facilitate the running of the school just as the Montessori teacher facilitates learning in the classroom. It really should not matter whether the head of school –Montessori or otherwise– has training in a particular pedagogy, but it is important that the head is sensitive to that pedagogy, understands and supports it, supports the mission of the school, and enjoys working with children and adults. The author, Dane L. Peters, shares the unique mission, of a Montessori school, as well as her experiences as she begins her fourth year as head of a Montessori school.
