A Quick Reflection on
Sports & Physical Education in
Your Montessori School

Montessori Sports – School Quick Scan

Sports and Physical Education are already part of every Montessori environment.
The question is not if children move, but how intentionally sports and physical education support their development.

This short Quick Scan is designed as a moment of reflection, not an assessment. It helps schools make visible what is already present, what is developing, and what may benefit from further attention.

Who this is for

This Quick Scan is intended for:

• school leaders

• Montessori educators

• PE teachers

• coordinators of sports or physical education programs

It is relevant for schools at any stage of development.

What you can expect

In just 3–5 minutes, the Quick Scan will help you:

• reflect on how sports and physical education are currently prepared

• consider alignment with Montessori philosophy across ages

• create a shared language within your team

The results

The quick scan uses a four-point scale that functions as a rubric, meaning it describes different levels of practice rather than assigning a simple score.

 ⭐️ Beginning 

 ⭐️⭐️ Emerging

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Established

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Advocating

Each level represents a stage in the development of sports and movement within the Montessori environment. This structure helps schools understand where their current practice sits on a developmental continuum and what the next steps could be to strengthen and deepen their approach.

Follow-up

After completing the scan, you will receive an email with an invitation to schedule a short conversation with Montessori Sports to look at your responses together.

There is no preparation needed and no obligation.
