What to Expect
Goals
Our program objectives converge around three compelling expectations.
- First, candidates will be prepared to demonstrate expertise in content, curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, and technology to enhance student engagement and learning, including strategies to support students in processing emotions and managing attitudes and opinions.

Â
The program will be delivered following a cohort model, starting in the summer semester and spanning a full year through the following summer (four semesters in total).
Internship
Candidates will complete a year-long internship in partnership school sites, with coaching and mentoring support.
Certification
While the program meets the certification requirements for Maryland, the School of Education cannot guarantee that the coursework will meet state credentialing requirements outside of Maryland.
