Part-Time MAT

 

The part-time Master of Arts in Teaching option is designed for career changers and for individuals who need more flexibility to earn teaching certification. This 39-credit option begins each semester and allows students to progress in the course work at their own pace within the 5-year time limit set for completion of the degree. Successful candidates are eligible for certification and earn the degree of Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT).  As the final step in the program, candidates complete a full-time, 100-day clinical internship over two semesters during which time they are not allowed to hold outside employment, unless they are a full-time teacher in their own private or public school classroom.

Internship

 

The internship is the most important part of the MAT program. Knowledge learned from coursework is applied to planning, instruction, assessment and other professional situations allowing interns the opportunity to analyze, synthesize, and reflect on their practice. The collaborative work of interns, mentor teachers, university supervisors and university faculty is integral to the process.

 

 

This section of the program site provides information and resources for interns, mentor teachers, and university supervisors. Guidelines and procedures for internships and suggestions for effective supervision of interns are also included. Please use the tabs on the left to view materials.
