THE INTERNSHIP SEMINAR, CLASSES, AND MEETINGS

The Internship consists of over 100 days of student teaching. The 10-month MAT program consists of a summer session beginning in early July, a full academic year in the classroom, and a second summer session in May. Throughout the program, Interns attend regularly scheduled classes, Internship seminars and other meetings (e.g. internship abroad preparation meetings).

Coursework is delivered both in traditional classes during and after the school day, during summer sessions, and online through Blackboard and other tools.  The Fall semester’s courses and internship experiences follow a block schedule where interns attend campus-based classes for a block of weeks followed by blocks of school-based internship experiences.  The Spring semester consists of full-time placements in public schools. The second summer session allows for the completion of the ePortfolio and the Master’s Research Project (MRP). (See the MAT  Schedule of Responsibilities.)
