Compensation Justice Page

Mapping the real cost of Montessori labor.

Why Compensation Data Matters

Montessori asks adults to prepare environments of peace, dignity, and possibility.
But too many guides and school staff are doing that work while navigating low pay, inconsistent benefits, or unclear expectations — all of which hit hardest for Black, Brown, immigrant, and working-class educators.

Compensation isn’t just a number on a contract.

It’s a justice issue.

It shapes who can stay in the field, who gets pushed out, and whose voices we lose along the way.

The Peace Rebellion is building the first open, community-sourced map of Montessori compensation across roles, regions, and school types. Your contribution helps us illuminate the truth — so we can organize, advocate, and build better systems.

Your Privacy & Anonymity

The survey does not collect names, emails, IP addresses, or any personally identifying information.
Responses are aggregated and reported only in groups large enough to protect individual contributors.

You can share candidly and safely.
We take that responsibility seriously.

How Your Data Will Be Used

Your responses will help us:

Identify patterns in pay, benefits, and working conditions
Highlight inequities across regions, roles, and school types
Advocate for better compensation structures across Montessori communities
Support leaders and boards in making values-aligned decisions
Amplify the lived realities of educators whose experiences often go unseen

This project isn’t about shaming schools — it’s about shifting systems toward justice, sustainability, and dignity.

This movement grows through collective truth-telling.
If you have Montessori guides, assistants, specialists, support staff, administrators, or leaders in your network, please share the survey with them.

The more data we gather, the clearer the story becomes — and the stronger our leverage for change.
