This is the start of the application process for Montessori School Verification. 

• Once you have registered for the process you will be automatically emailed a digital copy of the Self-Study Manual and Form. Be sure to check your junk if you do not see this email soon.
• Follow the instructions for completing and submitting the form and required documents.
  
• You will be contacted to schedule a Verifier visit after your self-study and required documents have been reviewed by the Verification Chair. If your school is AMS accredited or AMI/USA recognized, you only need to complete the self-study and not have a visit from a verifier. 
• After the visit the Verifier will submit a report to the Verification Committee for review and approval at the next (monthly) PNMA board meeting.
  

Making Inclusion Work in the Montessori Class

Come to this full day workshop to explore Montessori's inclusive roots, how to positively frame our understanding of complex behaviors as we unpack the Pyramid Model.

The Pyramid Model is a research based framework and highly effective approach to promote healthy social and emotional development.  We'll use Montessori-friendly tools and techniques to implement and evaluate Pyramid Model best practices.  Our aim is to grow in our ability to support ALL of the children in our community, especially the ones who challenge us the most!
