I haven't even begun to spread the word yet, so this is a presumptive welcome. But welcome anyway! I've put together this blog because I am hoping to start a network of community members in Central Massachusetts who might be able to join with me in the vision of a public school in Worcester built around the idea of helping each child reach his or her own innate potential through a wholistic, child-centered, community-based, cutting edge but historic, research-supported model of education: Montessori.
If this idea intrigues you in the least, I hope you will stick around and join in the conversation. If we can build momentum here and in our personal conversations, there is a very good chance we can actually create this school. In fact, the Department of Education has grants specifically to support the creation of charter schools in Worcester, and such a school could open as early as fall 2010. Now is definitely the time!

Charter schools are public schools, authorized by the DOE. Founders are generally "parents, community members, and members of the general public who come together and write a proposal for a school." I am interested in gathering together folks in central MA who might want to join in an effort to start a Worcester Montessori charter school. If this idea sounds interesting to you, please jump into the conversation!

I'm interested in helping. I attended Montessori school as a child. My mother was a teacher. I know nothing about starting a charter. I have the time if someone guides me. I'm not very computer savy. This is my first time posting to a blog.
This is a wonderful start! It is so nice to have a blog follower (and a post!) already on the very first full day this blog is up and running. Thanks for posting, enfield. As soon as we get enough folks, we'll get together a meeting of some sort. I can't wait! This may very well be one of the most important and exciting endeavors with which I have volunteered!
