MatchHub · The MMG Pipeline
Prepared Here. Placed Here.
MMG trains teachers through the Residency and places them through MatchHub. Those two things are connected on purpose. This page explains how.
The Connection
The connection between preparation and placement is intentional and designed.
Most Montessori hiring problems are not credential problems. They are alignment problems. A school hires someone with a diploma who does not understand the community. A graduate with real preparation lands in a school that does not support it. The preparation and the placement have nothing to do with each other.
MMG built the pipeline specifically to close that gap. MMR prepares educators with rigorous, equity-centered training. MatchHub places them in schools that know what that preparation means and are ready to support it. The two systems are designed to talk to each other.
This is not a referral partnership. It is a single ecosystem with a consistent standard running through it.
For MMR Graduates
Priority access to placement.
MMR graduates are not just added to the MatchHub pool. They enter with a verified MMG preparation flag attached to their profile, which signals to schools that their training meets a specific standard: equity-integrated curriculum, paid practicum, full-scope lesson preparation, and a credential earned through real practice.
Schools that know what MMR means will find you. Schools that are ready to hire someone who will challenge them to be better will find you. That access is a program benefit.
For Schools
Filter for candidates who were prepared in alignment.
When you post through MatchHub, you can filter your search to surface candidates who completed MMR. That flag means something specific: the candidate studied a complete level-specific curriculum (224 lessons for Primary or 325 for Elementary), with an equity aim built into every lesson, completed a paid practicum in a partner school, and graduated from a program that took the work seriously enough to make it accessible.
You are not sorting by credentials alone. You are sorting by preparation standard. Those are different things.
For Partner Schools
Host a resident. Gain a guide.
MMR partner schools do more than hire MMR graduates. They shape them. A partner school hosts an MMR resident during the practicum year as a paid guide or assistant guide, provides an on-site Site Mentor from their existing faculty, and commits to employing the resident at a living wage while they complete their supervised practice hours.
In return the partner school gets a developing guide who arrives already prepared. Not a student teacher who needs to learn what Montessori is. An educator who has spent nine months or twelve months studying the full Primary curriculum of 224 lessons or the full Elementary curriculum of 325 lessons, writing a complete album, and attending twice-monthly seminars with an experienced Cohort Guide. The resident arrives knowing the materials, knowing the theory, and knowing why equity is not optional in a Montessori classroom. The practicum year is where that preparation meets real children and real community.
MMR covers the Site Mentor stipend. The school covers the resident's salary. MatchHub gives partner schools priority access to MMR graduates when the credential is complete.
This is how the pipeline works from both ends. Schools that invest in resident formation get first access to the graduates they helped form.
What the Standard Means
MMG preparation is not a checkbox. It is a specific thing.
Equity-integrated curriculum
Every lesson in MMR has an equity aim and a neurodivergence section as standard structure. Not a module. Not a supplement. Built in.
Paid practicum
Residents are placed in partner schools as paid guides or assistant guides. They learn in classrooms that treat them as professionals.
Justice-centered preparation
The reading list includes Hammond, Love, Derman-Sparks, Delpit, and Dunbar-Ortiz because they are essential to Montessori preparation, not supplementary to it.
Full-scope readiness
A 549-lesson curriculum covering every strand, plus behavior support, structured literacy, and a cross-plane bridge between Primary and Elementary.
