Blount had an eight -page article published in the award-winning centennial issue of the MONTESSORI LIFE journal and two lead articles in The KAPPAN, the ADK International Teacher's Organization's biannual journal.
In 2008, the Mexican National Circle of Reporters awarded her their Golden Sun Statuette for special educational merit.
