Advisory Program for Montessori Administrators

Sue Pritzker, AMI Trainer of Administrators Course
5 sessions, September 26, 2024 - January 16, 2025
Thursdays 5:15 - 7:15 PM CEST
Online on Zoom

Start working towards improving your school in key areas to make it stable

creating policy that supports program

design observation, assessment and feedback systems

nurture responsive teaching and development of administration teams

This is a place for administrators to meet monthly, where they can learn new skills AND share and strategize about current issues and challenges. Join Sue Pritzker, AMI trainer for the Administrators Certificate course and retired Head of School, for the support you so often need.

Customize the implementation of new ideas, policies and procedures and understand better how to make do with the challenges and resources you have. Cultivate new ways to look at your problems through the eyes of others who do the same work as you every day. 

This program will provide you with:

  • Discuss your day-to-day problems with an experienced Montessori leader
  • Deep dive into topics developing your whole school, setting it up for a long-term sustainability and stability
  • Find space to discuss your work as a leader with fellow Montessori colleagues
  • Equip your toolbox with materials, handouts and templates that you can use in your own school and lessen the operational workload
  • Take away “action steps” to work on in between sessions, reflect on your progress (or found difficulties) and keep moving forward
  • Choose further topics that are most relevant to you as a group

Study alongside administrators (principals, board members, business managers) from around the world, engage in lively discussions and share in order to experience new perspectives. 

Sue will also discuss the foundational work that schools will need to embrace as AMI moves toward the adoption of a global accreditation system.

"I would like to give a shout out to Sue, I felt she spoke from the depth of her experience, she made it available to us, she also shared the setbacks she went through. We need to feel that it is possible to reach the point we work towards, and I did feel that."

"I appreciated The practicality for admins in the school, the “shortcuts” we received from Sue that would otherwise take years of trial and error to figure out ourselves. Sue enabled us to work more systematically in our schools. "
