Teaching - Brandeis University

Teaching from Brandeis University is a Campus Master Teaching degree that prepares you for a Education career. In the MAT program ,we conceive of teaching as practical intellectual work dedicated to enlargement of human capacity at the individual and societal level. Successful completion of the program leads to the degree and (with the exception of the secondary Bible concentration) the initial license to teach in Massachusetts, which has reciprocity agreements with more than forty other states and the District of Columbia. The MAT in Elementary Education offers a choice of two concentrations: public elementary or Jewish day schools. The MAT in secondary education offers a choice of four concentrations: history, English, sciences, or Bible. A coherent one-year/four-semester course of study integrates sustained guided-teaching practice in area schools with challenging course work and analysis of educational problems and issues at macro and micro levels . A small cohort of students works closely with peers, mentors, and faculty in an atmosphere that is collegial and open to risk-taking. Inquiry is a theme across the year. As the culminating project, students design, conduct, and report on a classroom-based, action-research project. All graduates are expected to demonstrate strong conceptual and practical command of the field; commitment to children as learners and thinkers; and habits of reliance on reason, evidence, and values in pedagogical decision making.
