The Instituto Nueva Escuela develops an audiovisual project to discuss the model that accompanies Public Montessori in Puerto Rico

Ahead of its 18th anniversary, the non-profit organization will launch “Faces of a New School: The Podcast”, a three-episode miniseries that delves into the origin, pedagogy and results of this school transformation movement.

With the purpose of sharing the memories, experiences and social and educational impact accumulated over almost two decades, the Instituto Nueva Escuela (INE) is working on the production of its new audiovisual project entitled“Faces of a New School: The Podcast” The production, which will be broadcast exclusively through the YouTube platform, will be presented as a prelude to the celebration of the organization's 18th anniversary.

The project consists of a three-episode miniseries designed to explore in depth the model of school and community transformation that the INE has led for the past 17 years. The initiative aims to highlight its proposal, which reimagines and shapes public schools in a way that differs from the traditional structures of the current education system.

The narrative of the episodes will guide viewers on a historical and educational journey. The first chapterIt brings together leaders and educators at the original community table where the organization was born in 2008.Eighteen years later, the protagonists evaluate how that dream has materialized and measure the real impact that the methodology has had both on the country's educational landscape and on their own professional lives.

For their part, subsequent episodes will delve deeper into the theoretical and practical pillars of Montessori pedagogy, detailing the fundamental reasons why the INE promotes this method and the scientific and social bases that support the project.

Throughout its history, the public Montessori project promoted by the INE has received strong support for its academic results and community well-being. This effort has earned it numerous prestigious awards in local and international forums.

Among the recognitions awarded to the organization are the Tina Hills Award from the Ángel Ramos Foundation, the Made in Puerto Rico Association seal, and validations from global entities such asUnited Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF)The American Montessori Society (AMS) and the Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education (MACTE) have also recognized its work. It has also received support from social and educational response organizations such as Direct Relief andRecovery Innovation Coordinator & Center of Excellence with an award in the Innovation and Future categoryamong others.

“Faces of a New School: The Podcast”It not only seeks to analyze data and methodologies, but also to humanize the movement by giving a voice to the founders, the staff who work on the project every day, and the families of the school communities that have directly benefited from the INE's management.
