Montessori Education

[byteit]

Does anyone know anything about getting certified for Montessori schools? If getting a master's in education might help or hinder during the hiring process? Are there graduate programs affiliated with montessori?

If you feel like you will be working in Montessori environments, the certification will most definitely help. If you intend to seek work in public school systems, know that you may find yourself challenged between attempting to reconcile requirements and responsibilities dictated by the district with Montessori principles. From what I have seen, however, certs in Montessori typically come from private industry organizations rather than educational institutions, which instead may offer particular courses that mention Maria Montessori as part of or in a full chapter within a few courses rather than stand alone programs.
