Department of Teacher Preparation
The teaching profession offers the opportunity to make a profound difference in the lives of others, and the Department of Teacher Preparation is committed to preparing a new generation of teachers for challenges and success in the classroom. Through its teaching and research activities, the department contributes to the School of Education’s mission to support and advance the quality of education and human services for the continuous development of children, youths, and adults.
Students in the Johns Hopkins Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program learn to apply the latest education theory, research, technology, and best practices as they develop their skills in instruction. Whether candidates seek to maintain their current employment while planning a transition to teaching, or prefer to immerse themselves full-time in graduate study and teacher preparation, the MAT program has a format to meet every student’s needs.
