Building on the strength and growth of its Franks School of Education, Trine University will launch Indiana's first Montessori teacher education degree program to help meet the growing need for teachers with Montessori credentials.
Trine's Montessori teacher education program will be one of only a few undergraduate programs in the nation offered at the university level, and will provide training that leads toward state-recognized Montessori licensure for both undergraduate students and teachers already in the field.
The Montessori Method of education was developed in Italy by Maria Montessori in the early 20th century and is designed to build on the way children inherently learn. Now practiced worldwide, Montessori education is known for individually paced learning and fostering independence, and encouraging empathy, social justice and joy in lifelong learning, according to the American Montessori Society.
The university has begun the search process for hiring a director for Montessori education at Trine, and will announce a timeline for program launch once that person is in place.
