Teaching - Multnomah University

Teaching from Multnomah University is a Campus Master Teaching degree that prepares you for a Education career. Teaching as a profession, and as a way to fulfill the Great Commission, is incredibly rewarding, both personally and professionally. If this is indeed the direction you believe God is leading you, we encourage you to consider Multnomah\\\'s MAT, the first graduate program at Multnomah University . With the approval of our middle level and high school authorization programs, MAT students may now be recommended for licensure to teach Pre-Kindergarten/Elementary, Elementary/Middle, or Middle/High school. For those who already hold teaching licenses, we offer a Reading Specialist Endorsement and an ESOL Endorsement. Either of these may be taken during the MAT program, although specialized programs such as these may be more than 45 credits. What is involved in the program? There are three critical strands to the MAT program: coursework, fieldwork, and research and reflection. Each is critical to prepare educators who have the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to be successful in the teaching profession. For each of these a high value is placed on integrating faith and learning. Coursework: During the program, students will engage in coursework that lays a foundation of the fundamentals of teaching and learning, with attention given to developmentally-appropriate content and teaching strategies for the early childhood and elementary classrooms. Fieldwork: MAT students will experience field work throughout the program. From observation to full-time responsibility in the classroom, students will have practical experience that prepares them for service in any early childhood or elementary classroom, whether in a private or public, local, national, or international school setting. Research and Reflection: Each classroom and field experience is designed to help students become thoughtful practitioners in the classroom, who are able to identify good questions and who have the research skills to find answers to those questions, as well as the ability to think reflectively on what those answers mean in their classrooms, schools, and communities. Students are also encouraged and challenged to be reflective of their own practices so they will continue to hone their instructional practices and leadership skills as professional educators.
