Bilingual) On Campus   he Master of Arts in Teaching programs are developed with the professional teacher in mind. The program will build on the teacher's knowledge base by incorporating curriculum with real world learning in the classroom, school, or other learning environments. The specifically designed emphases have a focus on improving a teacher's "classroom effectiveness" through developing knowledge, dispositions, and abilities derived from current theory and research in education. “Classroom effectiveness” is considered in terms of success at increasing student learning. A vision of accomplished practice articulated by way of fourteen program outcomes guide participants as they complete a series of learning and assessment projects that include a curriculum development project, teacher research study, and professional development portfolio. Critical reflection, systematic inquiry, and collaborative research are emphasized throughout the program, abilities which lend coherence to teachers' efforts in learning to scaffold their own professional development. Faculty members are committed to building a program that is responsive to the needs and interests of teachers who work in a variety of different classroom contexts by making meaningful connections between theory and practice in support of powerful teaching and learning. Our goal is to cultivate the kind of professional wisdom associated with the art of teaching and intelligent use of practical knowledge for the purpose of helping all students achieve high-quality learning outcomes. The Master of Arts in Teaching program focuses on empowering elementary teachers as school leaders for the purpose of improving student learning through the development of meaningful curriculum, authentic instruction, and performance-based assessment.     Accreditation Information: North Central Association of Colleges and Schools  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses May be determined upon transcript review by advisor  International Student Requirements TOEFL  Requirements Qualifying Exam: GRE Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: 3.0 English Proficiency: No Research Competency: No Clinical Internship: No   Work Experience Should be commensurate with educational goals  Volunteer Experience None  Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements In addition to the online application, a candidate may be required to submit three letters of recommendation, a candidate letter, resume, and an interview with the program director.    Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 861  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 1485  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $687  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $17226  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience:   Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
