Achieving Growth

Montessori Leadership Intensive

A deep dive into applying Montessori principles to organizational systems

​

From philosophy to implementation in hiring, discipline, culture, and sustainability.

The Problem

Montessori training prepares adults to guide children.
It rarely prepares them to lead organizations.

 

So leaders improvise systems — and the school feels inconsistent even when intentions are strong.

 

The intensive translates Montessori into operational practice.

Group Training Session

What This Is

A multi-session learning experience where leaders build leadership frameworks across six core domains:

  • staffing & role sustainability

  • dignity-centered discipline systems

  • equity response

  • adult culture architecture

  • decision clarity

  • continuity & succession

Participants leave with structures they can implement immediately.

How It Works

12 hours of guided learning combining:

  • framework instruction

  • applied scenarios

  • implementation planning

Not lectures — structured application.

The Six Domains of Montessori Leadership Practice

The intensive organizes leadership into six interconnected areas.
Each includes framework instruction and applied planning.

Why guides leave and how role design contributes to retention.

We examine:

  • coverage structures

  • flexible role models

  • compensation trust structures

  • long-term substitute planning

Participants design a staffing structure aligned with both fidelity and sustainability.

Staffing & Role Sustainability

1

How behavior systems unintentionally exclude.

We work on:

  • identifying harm patterns

  • restorative responses

  • replacing “not a good fit” narratives

  • supporting staff in complex behavior situations

Leaders leave with a discipline response framework they can use immediately.

Discipline That Protects Dignity

2

Why neutrality destabilizes trust.

Participants build:

  • response protocols

  • investigation pathways

  • communication approaches

  • repair processes

Responding to Equity Concerns

3

Hidden decision patterns create instability.

We clarify:

  • who decides what

  • how decisions are communicated

  • how stakeholders understand outcomes

Leaders build a decision transparency map.

Decision Architecture

5

How adult environments shape child outcomes.

We design:

  • coaching structures

  • feedback rhythms

  • support pathways

  • conflict repair systems

Participants complete an adult culture diagnostic and identify high-leverage shifts.

Adult Culture Architecture

4

How schools unintentionally restart after leadership change.

Participants create:

  • institutional memory structures

  • leadership handoff plans

  • stability safeguards

  • sustainability roadmap

Continuity & Succession

6

What Makes This Different From Workshops

This is not a collection of topics.
Each domain connects to the others — staffing affects culture, culture affects discipline, discipline affects trust, trust affects sustainability.
Participants leave with a coherent leadership operating model rather than isolated strategies.
