Biography

Dr. Rolfe worked in special education for 35 years as a teacher (PreK – 8), learning specialist, district administrator, and adjunct professor.  Dr. Rolfe completed her AMI elementary training at Washington Montessori Institute. Dr. Rolfe has spent the last 10 years as an educational consultant for The Village School in Waldwick, New Jersey, supporting guides in their work with children (ages 18 months – 14 years).  Dr. Rolfe consults with Montessori schools across the US about disabilities and inclusive practices, and I’ve been an instructor at Loyola’s Center for Montessori Education since 2016.  

Dr. Montessori wrote:  
The task of educators is immense because human progress and world peace are in their hands. These words inspire Dr. Rolfe each summer. I can contribute to a more inclusive and equitable society by preparing adults to better meet the needs of all the children in their education care.

“What’s different about a Loyola education is we truly value the idea of cura personalis for our students—and for their future students. This is not simply a degree to be purchased, but intellectual engagement, which lingers in the hearts and minds of the learners.”

“Jesuits have a solid reputation as educators. The other students in my cohort were amazing and made the intensity of this program a shared, instead of solitary, experience of growth and learning.”
