Partnership Schools
The MIT program has a number of partnership schools that contribute to the preparation of teachers, each of which plays a unique role. They include, but are not limited to:
Seattle:
Beacon Hill Elementary School
Maple Elementary School
Ingraham High School
Shoreline:
Echo Lake Elementary School*
Shorewood High School**
Highline School District:
Academy of Citizenship and Empowerment
Global Connections High School
Odyssey: The Essential School
*Echo Lake Elementary School provides a classroom for the MIT program so that prospective elementary school teachers can have ready access to K-6 classrooms for observation and practice. Classroom teachers at Echo Lake often teach in the program or demonstrate strategies in the context of their own classrooms.
**Shorewood High School teachers provide classes in methods, curriculum and assessment in specific high school subject areas.
Note: Each of the other schools provides focused observations and student teaching opportunities to our prospective teachers.
