Delphi Academy of Florida Teachers Receive Delphi’s Highest Certification
Added: (Wed May 07 2008)
Three of Delphi Academy(TM) of Florida's most tenured teachers have been awarded Delphi Educator status by Delphi Schools Incorporated (DSI). Delphi Educator status is the highest teacher certification an educator can receive from DSI.
To be considered for Delphi Educator status teachers must complete a comprehensive training, apprenticing and evaluation program that culminates in professional certification by DSI, the senior administrative organization which oversees the Delphi Schools Network, an association of private schools around the country.
The three faculty members that received this recognition were Carol Kirtley, Dean of Academics, Trish O’Hara, Head of Standards and Mary Float, Assistant to the Dean for Elementary and Middle Schools. These three veteran teachers have over fifty years of combined experience educating the children of Clearwater on the Delphi Program. On receiving her certificate, Ms. Kirtley stated, “I am honored to have earned this recognition. For my entire professional career I wanted to be a teacher of the highest order. As a Delphi Educator I have achieved that goal.”
The Delphi Faculty Development Program trains faculty in both the administrative and classroom technology of the Delphi Program, an educational program with a rich curriculum, over thirty years of experience and the breakthrough educational methodologies of American author and educator L. Ron Hubbard.
Delphi Educator certification requires of the teacher hundreds of hours training on more than forty individual administrative and technical courses, including the very comprehensive Applied Scholastics(TM) Educator's Course and Apprenticeship; a number of curriculum-specific apprenticeships; a series of proficiency reviews and a final quality check and certification from senior management.
Delphi Academy of Florida is an independent coeducational and non-sectarian day school offering regular school year and summer programs for preschool through junior high students. It is licensed to use Applied Scholastics(TM) educational services (http://www.AppliedScholastics.org).
