Tatenda Blessing Muchiriri joins the podcast to tell the story of how his non-profit organization, Rungano Montessori on Wheels was born. Tatenda's goal is to move education liberation forward by co-creating Montessori-based learning environments within Black and Brown communities, ensuring that children and families can learn, play, and dream together. Tatenda chose to put the classroom on a bus, because as he explains it, "Equity is bringing a service to the families, who otherwise would not have access."
MoW offers parent-partnership programs, small group Montessori experiences, and small group tutoring with trained Montessori guides. Tatenda describes how important it is to demystify the term "Montessori," instead emphasizing the aspects of hands-on materials, individualized learning, and storytelling. Tatenda explains that by exposing families to Montessori, even in small doses, parents are able to see their children as learners, see themselves as educators, and become empowered to advocate for their children's education.
