Program Overview
The MIT program has both a fall and a spring entry and allows approximately 50 students, both elementary and secondary, for each entry date. The program is a four-block program that includes a full quarter of student teaching.
Program Design
The Master in Teaching (MIT) Program is built on a collaborative effort among the College of Education faculty, and the school community to prepare teachers to meet the educational demands of the 21st Century. First, a strong grounding in an academic field is essential for this program. Additionally, the program is infused with the ethical and value-laden issues inherent to the teaching profession.
The program curriculum includes comprehensive educational theory and research following the themes of individualization, ethical responsibility, and the use of technology as an essential educational tool. Internships in community service programs put pre-service teachers in touch with the world as it is lived by their students. Through integrated course work and field experiences, prospective teachers develop the insight and skills needed to be effective educators in a complex and technological world.
