Master in Teaching (MIT)
Secondary Teacher Education
Brief program description:
This Masters in Teaching program has attracted adult students from
many different fields and professions, who have decided that high
school, middle school, or junior high school teaching offers an exciting
career alternative. The students' professional preparation consists of
70-75 quarter credit hours that are completed over 6 quarters of
part-time academic study, and 2 quarters of full-time student teaching
in local public Secondary classrooms. One academic quarter is reserved
for completion of endorsement related coursework prior to the start of a
student teaching assignment.
The program is designed to accommodate the needs of students who need
or wish to continue working during the course of program completion.
Students generally take two to three classes during an academic quarter,
thus requiring classroom attendance two to three nights per week between
the hours of 5:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Students are also expected to
spend 40 hours of observation time in a local public school classroom
during the first year of the program which leads to the 18-week,
full-time student teaching assignment during the second year of the
program. Our program seeks to admit 25-30 students each June.
