Marie Dugan started her Montessori journey as many of us did, through the lens of her child. Now over 50 years later, after having been a driving force in expanding Montessori education, she continues to mentor and support her colleagues and friends. From managing an international NGO to directing a local Montessori school to supporting adult learners under AMS as an interim executive director and board president, Marie has accumulated not only a passion, but a depth of experience whilst facilitating the Montessori approach across numerous platforms.
On a beautiful Fall day, we had the pleasure of hosting respected school leaders & education policy-makers from the tristate area as we came together to celebrate the life & legacy of our dear mentor Marie Dugan, who did us the honor of inaugurating our cozy Marie Dugan MITE library.
