As we reflect on the past 50 years and the history of NAMTA across the decades, the NAMTA officers and Renee Ergazos, our archivist/managing editor, will be searching our archives to choose timeless articles from The NAMTA Journal. Hoping to share legacy voices with a new audience and to continue our commitment to the work of Montessori education in today’s world, we will share links to two or three articles every few weeks.
As Montessori teachers, school administrators, and staff prepare for the fall start-up of the 2025-26 academic year, we chose to consider Montessori voices as they reflect on the development and evolution of community within and beyond a school setting. The NAMTA Journal, Winter 2015, is titled “The Art of Montessori Grace and Courtesy,” and we are proud to share one article by Pat Ludick and another by Larry Schaefer. We hope these voices bring you inspiration as you work to support and grow the Montessori movement.
As NAMTA continues to share the writings of experts that we’ve nurtured over the past 50 years, please share our work with colleagues who might not be aware of our trusted role in the Montessori world. If you are not currently on our distribution list, please contact us at info@montessori-namta.org with your contact information.
Best Regards,
Jacquie Maughan, President
