Master of Arts in Teaching

Program Overview

The Master of Arts Teaching (MAT) degree program, offered by the Department of Teacher Education, prepares students to engage in social justice teaching practices, contribute to the development of cultural literacy, provide education that promotes democracy, and develop content knowledge expertise to teach in urban and suburban schools. All the program courses will prepare enrolled students to provide instruction for multilingual learners and students with disabilities in general education classrooms. Enrolled students also will learn to set up a supportive classroom environment based on social-emotional learning principles and experience collaborative co-teaching experiences with successful mentor teachers in the field. Finally, students will design, carry out, and report on classroom-based teacher inquiry. The MAT is earned in combination with a teaching credential and is not a stand-alone Master’s Degree.
