Montessori Innovation Program includes learning environment innovation: Identifying potential innovation areas and supporting quality R&D in those areas (including our current area of most significant investment--supporting the observation activities of Montessori teachers through the use of sensors embedded into the learning environment), developing partnerships with external researchers, convening Wildflower Teacher Leaders to share practices, facilitating the exchange of wisdom across the network outside of convenings.
Existing School Support Program includes network support and accountability: We believe that every teachers deep commitment to making their school exceptional is our most valuable asset for making the network of schools exceptional. We have developed a set of processes by which Teacher Leaders work together to support and hold a mirror up to each other, and we are working to help refine those processes and develop tools to support them. We are also at the beginning stages of supporting the codification and sharing of wisdom beyond nearby schools through convenings and network technology.
