Revision of Public School Programs
In most public schools, there is little time or support for the kinds of questions and investigations that can help teachers shift their practices to accommodate individual learning needs in the classroom.
The MAT Program's partnership with public schools, coupled with the high level of disciplinary expertise and current educational research made available to MAT students, creates an extraordinary opportunity for current and future teachers alike.
- MAT faculty offer courses to mentor teachers on topics specific to broadening teacher expertise and constructing curricula.
- Teachers from participating schools, MAT students, and MAT faculty meet regularly to pose critical questions regarding education.
