Extensive teaching apprenticeships in partner schools
In forming partnerships with schools in the Hudson Valley, the Bard MAT Program has created fully integrated professional learning communities (college program, student teacher, partner school, mentor teacher). During the summer term, Bard MAT students complete a field experience in social emotional learning and restorative practices at Ramapo for Children. During the fall and spring terms, under the guidance of a MAT mentor teacher and field supervisor,
Bard MAT students complete extensive teaching apprenticeships in our MAT partner schools.

Mentor Teachers and Field Supervisors

In addition to the MAT faculty, Bard MAT students develop a strong bond with their partner school mentor teacher and Bard MAT field supervisor.

Mentor Teachers

Bard MAT mentor teachers are experienced classroom teachers who are dedicated to helping MAT apprentices learn effective classroom practices. Many of our current mentors are MAT program graduates. If you would like to learn more about serving as a mentor teacher for the Bard MAT, please email us at [email protected].

Field Supervisors

Bard MAT field supervisors are liaisons between the MAT, the mentor, the public school, and the apprentice teacher during the student teaching placements. They visit school placements frequently and provide feedback on teaching. Supervisors include MAT faculty as well as experienced former public school teachers and educators.
