About Emma Johnston León
I make friends out of strangers everywhere I go, not in a superficial small talk kind of way, but in a diving from the niceties headfirst into the depths of our souls kind of way. I truly believe meaningful connection is only a conversation away and I believe everyone’s story has a right be heard. I am energized by cultivating relationships, gathering communities, starting conversations, opening doors, and making a difference. I encourage those around me to collaborate, think boldly, and be courageous. We all have something unique and beautiful to contribute to this world we just have to find it. I have always had a steadfast determination to make a positive impact in the world and believe wholeheartedly in living in alignment with your values and purpose. It’s about progress and enjoying the journey!Some things that make me who I am: • Spanish American• Montessori Child, Educator, and Teacher Educator • Leadership Development enthusiast• Certified Diversity Professional® (CDP®)• Restorative Justice – Circle Keeping Practitioner• ENFP – Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)• Woo, Communication, Includer, Learner, Arranger – Clifton StrengthsFinder • World traveler – citizen of the world• Recreational team sports player – please don’t make me run unless I\'m on a team and there\'s a ball involved• Lover of family, friends, and framily (the ones who are both)
Experience
Co-director, Instructor & Field Supervisor
Jan 2014 — Present · Dana Point, CA, US
As a Montessori child I never imagined I’d become a Montessori educator, never mind an educator of Montessori educators! I did, however, know I loved school and credit my deep desire to making a positive impact in the world to my Montessori education. I find much fulfillment in teaching future Montessori teachers because I see the impact as exponential! I enjoy teaching future Montessori teachers about the history and philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori and the Montessori Method. I have created additional courses in Leadership Development for the teachers to reach their fullest potential, both as leaders who inspire leadership in their classrooms as well as their greater school communities. Additionally, I have developed and taught Anti-Bias Anti-Racism education, Conflict Management, Peace Curriculum, Practical Life Curriculum and Language Curriculum.
