Montessori Global Education and HundrED are working in partnership to gather global innovations in child-centred learning. This joint effort seeks to identify the most contextually innovative and scalable educational innovations worldwide.

Over several months in 2024, the Child-Centred Learning Spotlight gathered over 200 submissions from 53 countries. The key themes arising from our submission pool are highlighted in the diagram below.

Karen Chetwynd, CEO of Montessori Global Education said this about the breadth of submissions:

“It’s truly inspiring to see such a diversity of innovative educational approaches from all over the world. From emerging work in the heart of local communities to established projects spanning a range of stakeholders – innovators prove that it’s possible to make a difference with a child-centred approach in any learning environment”

Mariah Voutilainen, HundrED’s Research Team lead for the Spotlight, said:

“Montessori and Montessori-inspired pedagogies are ones in which educators and children co-create the experience of learning. During the shortlisting process, we found that many of the shortlisted innovations captured this aspect of co-creation so well, and with the resources at their disposal, filling the needs of their local contexts,”

 

A shortlist of 38 outstanding educational solutions is now being reviewed by a global Advisory Board of experts. To find out more about the shortlisting process, the shortlisted innovations, and what’s next for the Child-Centred Learning Spotlight, click here.
