Alignment challenges the traditional idea of work-life balance, offering a new perspective of alignment rather than separation between work and personal life. It is a unique guide using key Montessori education principles and framework. Katie has worked with hundreds of middle and high school Montessori teachers from all over the world through the training program she runs called CMStep. She is recognized as a leader in Montessori programming for adolescents and adults. As the world continues through a period of intense stress and anxiety due to the international unrest and climate crisis, the book’s insights on managing burnout, focusing energy on what matters, and reclaiming purpose are both relatable and relevant.
