The
Master of Arts in Teaching program (M.A.T.) has been established
to enhance the professional development of teachers who are
committed to excellence in the classroom. The M.A.T. program
is designed for individuals who are interested in pursuing
either a master's degree or a master's degree and teacher
certification. The program is focused on improving expertise
in content areas, effective teaching strategies, and enhancing
the delivery of instruction to students. The goal of the M.A.T.
program is to equip educators to become servant leaders within
the school setting.
The
graduate program will focus on developing teachers who will
be skilled in leadership, curriculum design, and advanced
instructional strategies.
The
M.A.T. is a 36-hour, non-thesis professional degree which
may be combined with other requirements to allow an individual
