"I thoroughly enjoyed being exposed to the extremes - the East Bronx Academy for the future allowed me to work with academically challenged children, while Bard High School Early College allowed me to work with academically gifted children."

Public School Partnerships

Public School Partnerships In forming partnerships with clusters of public schools in the Hudson Valley, New York City, and California the MAT Program at Bard College has been inspired by the concept of a Professional Development School (PDS).

The PDS concept, which has a long history in the field of education reform, was revitalized in the 1980s. It is based on the idea of forging alliances among a college, several public schools, and student teachers.

Professional Development Opportunities

The MAT Offers professional development opportunities for alums as well as affiliated and non-affiliated teachers at all of our campus locations. These courses vary each year. Interested people should email mat@bard.edu for updated information and offerings.

Students and alumni are also encouraged to connect with the Bard MAT Teaching Network. Receive invitations to special events and classes in New York City, California, and the Hudson Valley.
