What is teacher credential recognition?

In certain contexts, state policy may not adequately recognize the rigorous preparation that Montessori teachers undergo in earning their Montessori credential. There are several contexts in which an individual’s Montessori credential may or may not be recognized: for state teacher licensure, under childcare regulations, and in workforce registries and career ladders. MPPI works with state advocacy groups to ensure Montessori teacher preparation is properly recognized in all contexts.
