Cornerstone Montessori - Establish New Forms of Accountability

Cornerstone Montessori Elementary School's innovation is its seamless incorporation of school-based mental health support services into the Montessori pedagogy, along with an adaptation to its evaluation that better measured the program's success. Children and families embrace the opportunity to benefit from the mental health services and Cornerstone reaps the rewards of fewer disruptions and incidents requiring focused staff time. CMES has seen a decrease from 3-4 incidents per week to 1-2 per month.
