Abstract/Notes: In an effort to improve the quality of education received by the nation’s children, research has been conducted to identify factors that contribute to student success. Research indicates that teacher training and credentials are related to higher student achievement. This paper explores the literature regarding teacher effectiveness and then compares practices of effective teachers with the training received by Montessori teachers. The results were used to identify a gap in the teacher-training program. This information was substantiated by data collected using an online survey. The survey also measured the percent of Delaware Montessori teachers who have their state teaching certification as well as their interest in a potential Montessori teacher education graduate program. With this information, a school-university graduate partnership was designed. The graduate program would result in educators becoming dual certified, both Montessori certified and state licensed and certified. This executive position paper advocates for the establishment of a school-university partnership between the Delaware Institute for Montessori Education (DIME) and the College of Education at Wilmington University for the purposes of creating a pathway to a graduate degree and dual certification for qualified Montessori educators.

Abstract/Notes: "Dr. Maria Montessori Here. Teacher of "Sense System" to Instruct in California. Dr. Maria Montessori, exponent of the "sense system" of teaching, arrived yesterday with her cousin, Mario Montesano, on board the Italian steamship Duca degli Abruzzi, from Naples, and was met at the pier by American exponents of her method, Miss Anne E. George of Washington, Miss Clara Craig of Providence, Miss Adelia Pyle of Manhattan, and Miss Grace Parsons of Brooklyn. She will spend four months in America, mostly in California, where she is going at the request of the California Board of Education to instruct a class of teachers. Dr. Montessori said that, contrary to the general impression, the war had stimulated in Italy a desire for education. She did not believe in war, but she was glad it had some redeeming feature. Mrs. Catalina Basusus, whose husband was Mexican Ambassador to the United States under Diaz, also was a passenger by the Duca degli Abruzzi. She met Diaz at his villa in the lower Pyrnees. He was in fine health and said he would never return to Mexico or visit the United States."
