A Montessori Approach to Adult Professional Development
After a decade of firsthand experience as a Montessori teacher and principal, Daisy Han recognized the urgent need for anti-racist teacher training within Montessori teacher education programs.
At Embracing Equity, we believe in the power of education to liberate and empower every child. We provide Montessori institutions with the tools and support needed to turn equity and anti-racism values into daily practice.
Together, let's fulfill Dr. Maria Montessori's vision of the liberated child by truly embracing equity in Montessori education. Join us and unlock the transformative potential within your Montessori community today.
The Embracing Equity programs are designed to offer adults the kind of affirming Montessori environments they strive to create for children. Embracing Equity is a community where people, often for the first time in their lives, feel like Montessori students who are affirmed and guided in their self-directed learning journey for liberation.

Professional Development
Embracing Equity creates brave facilitated spaces for the "spiritual preparation of self." We build a solid foundation of shared language, knowledge, and practices related to anti-racism, equity, inclusion, and culturally sustaining practices.
As a program developed by Montessori trainers for Montessorians, we put theories into action and meet you where you are with love and compassionate accountability instead of shame or guilt. We don't just check the box on equity, we integrate practical, personal, relational, and systems level change that is tailored to your unique context.

Building Equitable Organizations
Every Montessori organization is at a different place in their journey towards equity, diversity, and inclusion. That’s why we tailor our programs to make sure they are relevant to your unique organizational culture, needs, and goals. Our end goal is what Dr. Montessori called "universal liberation."
Leveraging our data-informed approach, we support you and your organization to audit your current equity landscape, lead sustainable change, and measure real progress over time.
Coaching
Through coaching, we help you sharpen your equity lens and build your racial literacy. We support you in addressing specific problems of practice and building your skills as an inclusive lifelong learner.
Coaching equips you to own your strengths, communicate more effectively, work through conflict, and create better alignment between your purpose and impact.
