Join us at 1pm EST today!!
Our first ever webinar- "A Responsive Classroom: Montessori for ALL" is happening today, right here in our Paradigm Breakers Collective community! Christine Lowry will be dropping truth bombs about why "Montessori isn't for everyone" is the biggest lie in education. If you've ever: - Had a child you couldn't figure out how to serve - Been told a student "needs a different environment" - Gone home exhausted from managing behaviors instead of guiding development This webinar will help you see the path to revolutionize your practice. TODAY 10/25 at 1pm EST (access it on the "Calendar" tab in our community)! Can't make it? We're running it again Nov 3rd (also on our "Calendar" tab) This isn't a workshop about giving you "tips and tricks." This is about transforming yourself and your prepared environment so EVERY child thrives. The revolution needs you there. See you in a couple hours, Andrew & Kelly P.S. We have something special for everyone who shows up live!

Are you meeting the needs of ALL of your learners?
Hey Paradigm Breakers, We’re doing something we've never done before. On October 25th and November 3rd, Developing Education and Breaking the Paradigm are hosting a free webinar with Christine Lowry on making Montessori truly inclusive for ALL children- right here in our Paradigm Breakers Collective! And here's the really unique part: we’re giving away something massive to live attendees- more than we’ve ever given away before. Why? Because we’re building a coalition of educators who refuse to say "Montessori doesn't work for some kids." And I need this community—YOU—to help me spread this. On October 31st, we're also dropping the second edition of Provocations. The theme is "Beyond the Two-Dimensional Student: Humanizing Data in Education." This magazine raises the bar from our first edition. Revolutionary thinkers. Builder-practitioners. Zero corporate influence. Just paradigm-breaking ideas. If you’re so inclined: 1. Register for the webinar (link below) 2. Share it with your networks (it’s free!) 3. Get ready for Provocations on 10/31 You're the coalition builders. Let's capture lightning in a bottle together. Webinar Registration: https://forms.gle/zALBes8xgV4QJjez7 You'll also see the webinar in the calendar of our community. And in the meantime, I would love to hear from you- how do you meet the needs of neurodivergent learners in your prepared environments? What would you like to see/learn about in this interactive webinar?

How to use this space
This community works because WE build it together! Here are some ways to start co-creating... - Share your burning questions - the ones keeping you up at night about education and human development - Post your experiments - what you're trying that feels risky, revolutionary, or just different - Ask for what you need - support, feedback, collaborators, accountability partners - Challenge ideas (including mine!) - real paradigm shifts happen through honest debate, not echo chambers - Connect the dots - comment on posts that spark something in you, build on others' ideas - Bring your expertise - you have knowledge, experience, and insights this community needs The revolutionary education community you've always wanted doesn't exist yet. We have to create it. Together. Right here. Starting with your next post. The paradigm shift is waiting for YOUR voice!

Welcome Paradigm Breakers- Tell us about yourself!
If you're here, you're probably tired of the traditional system and are ready to question what everyone else takes for granted. This is where we build the coalition of educators who refuse to accept "that's just how education works." Let's start with introductions that matter: Your Education Origin Story Tell us: - What moment made you realize something fundamental was wrong with traditional education? - When did you first catch a glimpse of what education could be when it truly serves human development? - What unspoken norm in education drives you absolutely crazy? - What transformation are you hoping to create in your classroom, school, or community? What I hope this community becomes: A coalition of paradigm breakers who co-create the tools, frameworks, and courage needed to prove that transformational education isn't just possible—it's inevitable when enough of us work together. Drop your story below! We're not just chatting online- we're building a movement. And every movement starts with brave individuals willing to share their truth and vision for something better. Let's revolutionize education together! Feel free to add new topics, ask questions, share resources, celebrations, and areas for growth. This is OUR platform for the dialogues that will break the paradigm!

Hello! I'm so excited to see so many of you joining our community of Paradigm Breakers! I grew up in a traditional education system where I was successful because I recognized that this system was a game to be played. When I began my career as a math teacher in a traditional public high school in the U.S., I immediately recognized that there were many students who were not being served by this system. I worked hard to focus on my students as whole people first, supporting their academic goals in service of their lives rather than the other way around. However, there were many limiting factors in a traditional public high school setting. I ultimately left my job to be a stay-at-home-mom and decided that I would take on a different career path once I was ready to return to working outside of the home. However, I was introduced to a local Montessori school when my oldest daughter was just a year old, and it changed the trajectory of my family's lives! I was in awe at this education system/philosophy that was focused on human development and meeting students' needs rather than focusing on academic outcomes, standardized testing, and top-down policies coming from adults working in offices removed from students. I was fortunate to join the staff of this Montessori school as an adolescent math specialist and have since become the adolescent program director and all-in paradigm breaker! We can do so much better than the traditional education status quo!

@Chris Sarkonak, reading your story elicits so many of the feelings I have had over the course of my time as a teacher. Kudos to you for doing the work to make meaningful change!
