Master of Arts - Teaching - Multiple Subject Credential

The Master of Arts in Teaching with Multiple Subject Teaching Credential program blends a teacher preparation program with a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT). The Multiple Subject Teaching Credential authorizes the holder to teach all subjects in a self-contained classroom, such as the classrooms in most elementary schools. This credential embeds the English Learner Authorization (ELA), which prepares candidates to work with second language learners.

Throughout the Master of Arts in Teaching program candidates will learn how to critically examine the sociocultural and sociopolitical contexts related to the broad fields of educational research and schooling. Candidates will be expected to apply such analytical skills to develop and implement standards-based curriculum in diverse settings using best instructional and inclusive practices that positively impact the learning of all students including English Learners and students with disabilities. Candidates will also create an original Teacher Action Research Inquiry Project using practice-based methods in diverse educational settings. The materials and associated activities presented in the Master of Arts in Teaching coursework are highly integrated to support students with successful completion of the Master of Arts in Teaching degree at the end of the program.
