Montessori Teacher Pipeline
To respond to the increasing interest in Montessori education, Dallas ISD is expanding Montessori program offerings. To accomplish this goal, a teacher pipeline has been established to ensure we have educators that are adequately trained and certified in Montessori techniques. We are offering to pay up to $8,000 per person for National Montessori Teacher Certification program costs to qualified candidates.
