Why Bard MAT?
Alumni/ae Spotlights
Joy Decker Sebesta ’15, Mathematics
I loved the planning class and anything taught by the Mathematics faculty. I also loved the course on Identity, Culture, and the Classroom. That course made me think about things in such a different way from what I was used to. It’s the best program, and the professors are fabulous.
Our Program
The Bard MAT is an intensive graduate teacher education program leading to a discipline-based master of arts in teaching degree and New York State Initial Teacher Certification in one of five subjects: biology, history, literature, mathematics, or Spanish. The Bard MAT responds to an urgent need for innovative education. This transformation requires teachers who can help secondary school students develop the thoughtful self-determination that builds from a genuine enthusiasm for learning.
