The Master of Arts in Teaching is a New York State registered and approved program
that qualifies students for license upon successful degree completion. Students must
complete all courses required for the MAT and must receive a grade of B or better
in all pedagogy and foundation courses as well as an overall GPA of 3.0 or better
in all course work attempted while matriculated in a graduate teacher preparation
program.
Workshops
Teacher preparation candidates must be fingerprinted and must also complete certification
workshops in:
- Child Abuse
- Dignity for All Students Act (DASA)
- School Violence (Project Save)
- Identification and Referral of Substance Abuse
See
Certification and Licensing Workshops for workshop details and schedules.
Tests
All students will have to complete the
Educating All Students Test and the
revised CST (Content Specialty Test) in the area of the Certificate. It is the student’s responsibility to monitor the
TEACH website at

to complete and submit the
edTPA (Education-Teacher Performance Assessment - Portfolio) in their content field. Please check with your program director for specific requirements.
