Elementary Job Embedded, M.A.T.

The Elementary Job Embedded program provides initial teacher licensure through our Master of Arts in Teaching degree. Candidates are required to hold a bachelor’s degree and be hired by a local school district to complete a minimum of one year (10 months) of full-time teaching. This program allows a candidate to work as teacher of record, while completing coursework to meet the performance standards of the Elementary Education (K-5) license. Teacher candidates complete a variety of coursework focused on the learning of students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Through the tailored coursework, teacher candidates build their repertoire of strategies and content specific to elementary grades.  Emphasis is placed on teaching the basic concepts and skills that lay the foundation for more advanced study in upper grades, as well as focusing on the social and emotional learning of students.
