Acknowledging the extraordinary accomplishments of Australian Montessorians.
“An ordinary teacher cannot be transformed into a Montessori teacher, but must be created anew, having rid herself of pedagogical prejudices.” (Maria Montessori, Education for a New World)
Join us for an evening of celebration as we pay tribute to the 2024 nominees and honour those who work tirelessly to support the children in their care.
The Montessori Recognition Awards acknowledge extraordinary accomplishments in the following areas relevant to the Montessori Movement.
There are 6 award categories:
Living Legend: This award honours an individual for their lifetime of dedication and service to the Montessori Movement.
Innovator Award: This award celebrates an individual or organisation who has been visionary in advancing Montessori pedagogy or has developed new and innovative ways of implementing Montessori philosophy in their work, whether it be in education, eldercare, research or advocacy.
Barbara Stephen Equity & Social Justice Award: This award celebrates an individual or organisation who has dedicated their career to promoting social justice and made significant contributions to marginalised or low socio-economic communities.
The Willemien Duyker-de Vries Community Service Award: This award recognises a Montessorian who has made significant contributions to their local or global communities through their work in Montessori education or advocacy.
Josy Ludwig “Quiet Achiever” Award: This award honors the unsung heroes of Montessori education—those classroom teachers and support staff who, without seeking groundbreaking innovations or extraordinary feats, have dedicated their lives to nurturing children's potential, earning the love and appreciation of their communities, students, and parents.
