Engaging conversations with Montessori practitioners

Season 4, Ep. 4:

Are we Woke?

Season four continues with a conversation with Sheri Bishop. Sheri will be giving a talk in January entitled: Are Montessori Educators Barely Awake, Woke, or Too Woke for Our Time and Place? In this episode, she discusses the history of the term woke as well as her thoughts on the topic of awakening.

Sheri Bishop received her AMI Elementary diploma in 2014 from the Montessori Institute of Atlanta, her M.Ed. from Loyola University of Baltimore in 2015, and her AMI Primary Diploma from the Montessori Institute of North Texas in 2022. After eight years of classroom experience, she founded Catalyze Consulting, LLC. She currently assumes her role at AMI/USA as the Human Rights and Social Justice Advisor, offers support to the Montessori Institute of North Texas as their Diversity and Equity Consultant, and occasionally enjoys the opportunity to reconnect with children as a Montessori classroom substitute.
