  • Master of Arts in Teaching

    The master of arts in teaching (M.A.T.) degree is a certification program designed to prepare college graduates who wish to enter the teaching profession but who have not had adequate preparation for teaching.

    The program is based on the assumption that, through a curriculum carefully balanced in theory and practice, participants can acquire the knowledge and skills needed for teaching general and/or special education students. The program is completed with a yearlong internship or supervised teaching experience guided both by a member of the Goucher faculty and by a cooperating or helping teacher at a professional development school (PDS).

    Our M.A. in Teaching offers engaged faculty and lasting relationships. If you have any questions, please contact the program director, Kristina Maxwell, at kristina.maxwell@botanicsbybritty.com.
