Master of Arts in Teaching, Mathematics Education (Secondary)

The Master of Arts in Teaching, Mathematics Education (Secondary) is a competency-based degree program that prepares students with the competencies at the graduate level needed to apply for licensure as a secondary educator. This program consists of online courses which take the learner from educational professional core coursework to Mathematics content, through methods of secondary instruction and assessment, including inclusive practices for all students within the classroom. Candidates develop and refine their teaching skills through a series of sequential experiences beginning with video-based observations and simulations of classroom instruction to prepare candidates for authentic, collaborative, clinical teaching experiences in elementary settings. Clinical experiences include teaching in face-to-face environments and culminate with supervised student teaching in a real classroom. With the successful completion of degree requirements for graduation, including required assessments in the major area of teaching, the student can receive institutional recommendation for licensure in secondary Mathematics education.
