Holmes Products Corp., or Holmes Group is a company based in Milford, Massachusetts that produces mechanical fans, air heaters, and humidifiers.

The Holmes Group, among others, endorses a new direction: the professional development school - a partnership between teacher education colleges and public schools.

The Carnegie Corporation and a national group of education school deans known as the Holmes Group have advocated the elimination of the undergraduate degree in education.

The Rival Company, now owned by the Holmes Group, trademarked that name when it introduced the product in 1971.

The Holmes Group, an organization of nearly 100 deans of education schools in research universities, asserted that, as in law and medicine, all education courses should be taken on the graduate level.

The most conspicuous support for that structure has come from the Holmes Group, a consortium of 89 education schools nationwide studying ways to improve teacher training.

Like the report of the Holmes Group, it lamented the lack of autonomy and other "nonprofessional" conditions under which teachers labor and called for an end to undergraduate degrees in education.

The Holmes Group wants a five-year program, at the end of which new teachers would receive both a bachelor's degree in a regular subject and a master's degree in education.
