Baltimore ProMAT is a partnership program between Johns Hopkins University and the Baltimore City Public School System (BCPSS) developed to recruit, certify, and retain teachers in urban schools. This program is designed for individuals who did not prepare for teaching as undergraduates. Candidates can become certified in Elementary Education or Secondary Education in the disciplines of English, Spanish, French, social studies, mathematics, and four sciences (biology, chemistry, earth/space/environmental science, and physics). Baltimore ProMAT is a cohort program; successful candidates receive certification and the degree of Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT).
Baltimore City Teach for America (TFA) corps members are eligible to enroll in Baltimore ProMAT if they meet the admissions requirements of the MAT. Candidates who would like to apply for Teach For America must apply to the TFA national organization.
