“Embracing Equity is not just a program; it's a catalyst for change. Witnessing leader after leader seamlessly apply concepts to their work was our 'aha' moment. Embracing Equity is a compass for transformative, equitable education. If you're serious about creating schools that make a lasting impact in the lives of all children, Embracing Equity is your guiding light."

Antonio Tapia

Former Teacher, Principal and philanthropy program officer at NewSchools

“Embracing Equity meets people where they are — wherever that may be — but it's also a serious program that doesn't shy away from applying a critical lens to, in our case, teaching, Montessori, Wildflower, our families and any other hard-to-discuss topic that comes up. Embracing Equity gives people the tools to engage more bravely and fully in such explorations. I'm very grateful to Daisy and the entire Embracing Equity team for creating and offering these powerful programs."

Matt Kramer

CEO of The Wildflower Foundation & former CEO of Teach for America

“This is the most well organized, dynamic, and engaging professional development I’ve ever experienced. Wow, I have not felt such energy in a long time, if ever.”

Jessa Cowdrey

VP OF OPERATIONS at CHI St. Joseph’s Children

“The world would be a better place if Embracing Equity was a universal requirement at every educational institution. Highly recommend this for everyone!”

Alex Brown

Former Head-of-School at Lee Public Charter Montessori School

“We’ve integrated Embracing Equity into the onboarding of all new employees at our organization. We've made it an initiative to have every employee go through this same training to allow us to have a shared language and investment in the ongoing cultivation of a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace.”

Kyle Edquist

Director of the Talent team at Rippleworks

“Embracing Equity is precisely what organizational leaders need - development through an anti-racist, anti-bias framework and creating the capacity for organizational and cultural change. Embracing Equity gave me the gift of insight into my organization as never before.”

Jessica Deutsch

Educational Consultant & Former Partner at Wildflower Schools

“I signed up for Embracing Equity seeking information about racism and the systemic effects in education. Instead, I healed.”

Britt Hawthorne

NYT Best-selling author of Raising Antiracist Children, educator, and ABAR facilitator

“Embracing Equity is a new lifeline. I had grown lonely, despairing, and angry. Embracing Equity grounded me in knowing that it's possible and the learning was prophetic. Hearing about the amazing work so many leaders in our cohort are doing was an incredible boost to my hope bank, and overall energy level. I'm so grateful to have expanded my community and I am excited to build some new friendships. I am not alone.”

Jenn D.

Public School Principal

“Embracing Equity has been a game-changer in my life. They have helped me to help my people understand the significance of the Yazzie vs. New Mexico Public Education Department court ruling and the ways in which our children can be seen and educated in a system that allows them to be their whole Indigenous selves inclusive of our native language and everything embedded in it...That’s why I am proud to be part of this growing movement and community.”

Trisha Moquino

Co-founder, Executive Director of Keres Children’s Learning Center⁣⁣

“Embracing Equity is foundational to create liberated Montessori learning spaces. The facilitators create a brave space that challenges our willingness to be vulnerable lifelong learners. I believe that only when we show up as our true authentic selves and accept ourselves as works in progress can we become truly powerful. From this place of power, we can answer Dr. Montessori's call to action to transform the world. Thank you for the reflective, challenging and rejuvenating learning space!”

Dr. Luz Casquejo-Johnston

Founder of Parenting on Purpose & Professor of Montessori Teacher Education

“Embracing Equity is addressing real world systemic racism in a way that empowers all of us to be part of the solution.”

Jennifer R.

Teacher

"I found the Embracing Equity professional development to be a truly wonderful, healing experience. As a Black woman, talking and thinking about race has never been an option. However, I can count on one hand the number of times that I've engaged in responsible conversations about race in a way that doesn't require me to sacrifice my well-being for white participants. This interactive workshop gave me the time, tools, and community that I needed to begin my journey toward healing racial trauma. More importantly, Embracing Equity gave me the opportunity and permission to make it personal!"

Lorry Henderson

Product Manager at GreatSchools.org

“Embracing Equity has been a critical friend and partner of Association Montessori International of the United States (AMI-USA). Dr. Maria Montessori’s call was to educate for peace. The charge for AMI/USA is to promote global peace, guide the natural development of all children to allow them to realize their full human potential, and to recognize and uphold human rights for all through the application of Montessori principles.”

Dr. Ayize Sabater

1st Black Executive Director of AMI/USA & Co-founder of the Black Montessori Educational Fund
