Master Teacher Associates Program
Experienced teachers, and occasionally those who have earned a teaching license but who have not yet begun teaching, are eligible for the Master Teacher Associates (MTA) Program. This program provides an extension of the candidate’s current teaching license.

The program requires 36 credit hours, lasts for 13 months, and includes coursework and fieldwork to foster the candidate’s development in content, pedagogy, and leadership. This program is offered at the elementary (K-6) and secondary (9-12) education levels.
