TEACH Montessori: Training Center Survey

Welcome!

TEACH Montessori is a unified movement-wide teacher recruitment initiative to address the chronic shortage of trained Montessori teachers by engaging individuals not yet familiar with Montessori and inviting them to consider it as a satisfying career opportunity. Please answer the following questions to help design this teacher recruitment campaign in a way that represents and serves your needs. If you would like to remain anonymous, please do not include your contact information at the end of survey. Otherwise, we hope you will stay connected to this project by joining our mailing list. Results of this survey will only be shared in aggregate with identifying details removed.

Some have suggested that a "common application" (one application for all training centers, similar to the "common application" for college admissions) would make applying for Montessori training easier and, like with college applications, increase the overall number of applications to centers. How much would you support the idea of a common application?
