Do you love to learn? Are you excited about sparking that same interest in students? Consider joining the Teacher Academy of Maryland (TAM) to deepen your understanding of teaching and how best to support your future students!
What is TAM? Why Will it benefit me?
During the first year of the TAM program, students complete three courses: Teaching as a Profession, Human Growth and Development, and Foundations of Curriculum and Instruction. Students also begin compiling their portfolio and complete it during the internship. Students are consistently engaged in identifying, analyzing, and practicing the fundamentals of effective teaching and classroom management, among many other areas of concentration, including cultural proficiency. This knowledge accumulates over the course of the program so a strong foundation of a career is already begun.
