Bard, A Place to Think - Master of Arts in Teaching
New York, NY
Overview
In New York City, the MAT Program emphasizes learning communities that can sustain change over time. The Bard MAT/Bard High School Early College II partnership breaks down the traditional wall between teaching and teacher education, offering an authentic, hands-on learning experience for the beginning teacher and a vigorous, ongoing inquiry into teaching in which educators and learners at all levels take part.
After a summer of graduate coursework on Bard's main campus in Annandale-on-Hudson, MAT students who plan to teach in New York City will complete all their program requirements at Bard MAT Program's New York City satellite campus in Long Island City, NY. Graduate students will work in high school classrooms with mentor teachers and their students in the morning or early afternoon, then take graduate courses later in the day that directly address the curriculum and other issues that emerge in their classroom settings.
