An accomplished education leader with over four decades of experience, Kathy Minardi works as head of the Aidan Montessori School in Washington, DC. In addition to her activities at Aidan Montessori, Kathy Minardi frequently serves as a speaker for several organizations, including the North American Montessori Teachers’ Association (NAMTA). Recently, she presented at NAMTA’s Whole School Management course in Columbia, Maryland.
Held at the Sheraton Columbia Hotel from October 7-11, 2015, the Montessori Whole School Management course brought together Montessori-oriented administrators from across the country for five days of discussion and problem-solving activities focused on strategic planning management. The course featured educational offerings for novice and experienced Montessori school leaders as well as teachers just launching their administrative careers.
Attendees at all levels had the opportunity to hear from speakers who helped them develop their skills in several areas, including goal making, collaboration, and budgeting. Additionally, they were able to spend time with their peers creating individualized strategic plans based on several factors, such as their school’s history, enrollment, and budget.
