Through our partnership, we provide you in-the-classroom experience. Together, we support our local PreK-12 students.
As students complete our minor, they will have a great deal of exposure (46 to 64 required hours, depending on coursework) to real public school classrooms. They will have the opportunity to observe teachers, and sometimes tutor students in these classrooms.
In our MAT program, our goal is to immerse you in the classroom from day one. Our 10-month internship program ensures that you have the knowledge, confidence, and skills to succeed.
You’ll spend half your time in the public school system, and the other half taking graduate courses. During the spring semester, you’ll start the day in school. After school lets out, you’ll return to SMCM for your graduate courses.
