Research
Researchers have a friend in AMS, which is strongly committed to advancing the study of Montessori education. Led by an enterprising committee of Montessorians with diverse research interests, AMS continually seeks new ways to encourage researchers and disseminate their work.
AMS efforts to further Montessori research include the following:
- Each year AMS recognizes outstanding graduate-level dissertations and theses that further public understanding of Montessori education. The chosen entries receive a monetary award of up to $1,000.
-
AMS conferences showcase Montessori research and provide networking opportunities for researchers.
-
Montessori Life
, AMS’s award-winning quarterly magazine, has a standing call for research articles that examine teacher practices and student outcomes. For more information, contact editors Kathy Carey and Carey Jones.
- The AMS Research Library actively adds to its holdings, becoming a growing repository of Montessori research.
