At the Montessori Association of Australia conference in Canberra in April 2008, the Montessori World Educational Institute (Australia) Inc. was delighted to present the first Australian Montessori Graduate Diploma to Shannon Ellis of Victoria.
There is no other Montessori Graduate Diploma in Australia. It is accredited with the Australian Federal Government’s Office of Higher Education and provides the recipients with authority to teach in both Montessori and mainstream schools. This is a major feat in this time of teacher qualifications and registrations and MWEI acknowledge the work of all involved in the association which has led to this achievement.
MWEI is an Australian registered training organisation that has courses for Teacher Assistants, parents, Diploma and Graduate Diploma students. It is a relatively small organisation with fewer than 20 staff; however there are students enrolled Australia wide. For more information on courses, visit the website at www.mwei.org
