📢 Contributing Thought Leadership: New Publication Feature I'm pleased to have contributed to What Will Montessori Leadership Look Like in 2030? AI and the Future of Montessori Leadership, a collaborative report from illumine and The Montessori Foundation exploring emerging trends shaping the future of Montessori leadership. As educational leaders continue preparing for the future, understanding the intersection of technology, leadership, and child-centered learning has

Montessori education has always been forward-thinking. Today's leaders are called to continue that tradition by thoughtfully evaluating how emerging technologies can serve our mission without compromising our values. The question is not whether AI will influence education. The question is how we can lead its implementation responsibly, ethically, and in ways that support authentic learning communities.

If I could offer one piece of advice to mothers of young children today, it would be this: Children are only young for a few short years. YOU have the power to tailor your career aspirations and activities based on each stage of their lives. Be present by actively showing up in their daily lives, physically, socially, and emotionally. It won't be long before they CHOOSE to be independent and require less of you and from you. Take parenting seriously!

If the first half of the year felt heavy, you’re not behind; you’re building. Honor what you’ve learned, refine what you’re offering, and recommit to the vision you carry for both your educational impact and your entrepreneurial success. The second half of 2026 holds limitless potential. Start from where you are, with what you have.

For many educators, freedom includes the opportunity to leverage their knowledge, talents, and expertise beyond traditional employment. It includes the ability to create additional streams of income, pursue entrepreneurship, and build a legacy that extends beyond the classroom. This Juneteenth, celebrate freedom by taking one step toward the vision you have for your life.

As conversations about artificial intelligence (AI) continue to evolve, I believe the early childhood education field has both an opportunity and a responsibility to lead thoughtfully. The goal is not to replace educators. The goal is to support them.

As you know, my word for 2026 is INTEGRATE. This month, I'm celebrating another publication milestone and reflecting on why I enjoy writing on topics supporting educators and children. I guess it's safe to say I like to integrate my love for writing with my chosen career in education. When I first wrote How Flowers Get their Colors, I never imagined the journey it would take me on. This year marks the fourth anniversary of the book’s publication, and reflecting on this milest

The Dr. Bisa Foundation recently had the honor of joining Albany State University (ASU) in Albany, Georgia for a celebratory weekend. The institution's weeklong Founder's Day festivities paid tribute to its late Founder, Dr. Joseph Winthrop Holley, and welcomed its new President, Dr. Robert O. Scott.

Stop comparing and start growing. Learn how strategic curiosity, not envy, can accelerate your personal and professional success. A Women’s History Month reflection by Dr. Bisa.

The beginning of the year has always felt like a season of possibility. It feels especially meaningful that many of my books were published during the first quarter of the year, a time associated with new beginnings, fresh goals, and renewed purpose.

As I look ahead to 2026, a new word has emerged that feels like the natural progression of the clarity I gained by focusing on alignment in 2025.

On this Giving Tuesday, and every day, the Dr. Bisa Foundation gives us a powerful way to invest in human potential - by supporting children in their earliest years, enabling higher education for ambitious students, and empowering entrepreneurs to build meaningful livelihoods.

This year, my chosen word was Align . It's a simple word with a powerful intention - to bring my life, work, and relationships into harmony. Looking back on the last 11 months in 2025, I am filled with gratitude for how this alignment has unfolded in ways beyond what I imagined. From expanding my professional network across the globe to deepening my family bonds and supporting the growth of others, this year has been a vivid example of how focus and faith can shape a meaningf
