[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From what I see on the AMI website, certification relates to teachers being Montessori-trained, not administrators. Perhaps there are more details about the process somewhere less accessible?

Shining Stars is AMS accredited. AMI doesn’t accredit schools. It only  certifies teachers. What you’re talking about is the need for AMI credentialed guides in the classroom for schools that follow the AMI Montessori standard. But that’s not the issue here because SSMA is an AMS school.

Shining Stars does need a credentialed director of education to remain accredited. See here under section 5 for personnel standards:

https://amshq.org/-/media/Files/School-Resources/AMS-Member-Schools/AMS-School-Accreditation-Standards--Criteria-2013.ashx?la=en

“A school that employs more than one lead teacher shall designate an educational supervisor/coordinator who holds a qualifying Montessori administrator or teacher credential. The coordinator will oversee the consistency of educational quality and serve as a resource to other staff members.”[/quote]
