I am pleased to return to the role of chair of the Montessori Education SIG, having served as the founding chair when the SIG was established in 2019. We should be so proud of all that we have accomplished since 2019. We have been an active organization, hosting monthly virtual gatherings, a virtual conference during the COVID-19 pandemic, and maintaining a strong presence at the AERA Annual Meetings, which has included informative sessions and a booth in the exhibit hall. We have an amazing leadership team for the 2025-2027 term, and we anticipate continued active engagement with our membership and a solid program at AERA 2026 in Los Angeles. We hope you can join us!
Our mission remains to build a scholarly community through engaging Montessori research with the broader field of education. The purpose of the SIG continues to be to support, promote, and disseminate information, research, and evaluation of Montessori education and philosophy, in both the public and private sector, through diverse research approaches and collaborations.
You can learn more about the structure of our group and our goals in the SIG Bylaws document available on this website. Thank you for your interest in supporting Montessori research. We hope you will join us.
Sincerely,Angela K. Murray, PhDChair & Founding OfficerMontessori Education SIG
