2025 AIMS Conference Schedule

Creating a personal schedule helps YOU, US, and YOU! Planning your day ahead of time will:
1) Leaves YOU more time for connecting with fellow Montessorians during the conference
2) Allow US to help determine the best room size for each session
3) Because of #2, increase YOUR chances of safely and comfortably attending every session you planned on (without sitting on the floor)!

PLEASE CHECK BACK FOR FINAL TIMES AND ROOM ASSIGNMENTS OF EACH SESSION CLOSER TO THE START OF THE CONFERENCE!

About me

I have been a Montessorian for over 16 years. I love working to find innovative ways to engage students and have integrated technology with Montessori philosophy across diverse subjects, with a wide span of age groups. In addition to my work in Montessori teaching, I helped develop digital and in-person curriculum and teacher training programs across various subjects. As the Director of Learning at BitSpace, I led a transition to online professional development, enhancing teacher capabilities in digital education. Currently, as the Innovation and Technology Lead at RPMS, I am working to merge technologies like 3D printing and laser cutting into the curriculum. This past year I launched an AI literacy focus with Middle School students and a Digital Citizenship course for Upper Elementary, leading them in hands-on discovery of AI and digital literacy.
