A rumination on school accountability

Chris von Lersner is Interim Executive Director at Great Work, Inc., a non-profit corporation dedicated to dusting off Dr. Maria Montessori's scientific pedagogy and putting it back to work creating developmentally responsive, whole-lifespan learning environments that assist in the self-actualization of the individual.

Chris received a BA in Elementary Education from the College of William and Mary, in Williamsburg, VA, in 1982. She jumped directly from her subsequent AMI Montessori Elementary training to a position as a collaborator in one of the early urban Montessori Secondary school experiments in the United States. Chris went on to serve as an itinerant middle school English teacher in Japan, direct an urban Upper Elementary class in Atlanta, work as an illustrator, adopt two children, and teach musical instrument building and graphic design at the middle school level before she accepted the position of Farm School Program Director at Compass Montessori in Golden, CO, in 2010.
