Master of Arts in Teaching Humphreys University - Modesto Campus, USA

Our Master of Arts in Teaching program is comprised of two parts: completion of the Multiple Subject Teaching Credential (MSTC) program and additional units of graduate-level courses in education. To earn the Master of Arts in Teaching, students must be recommended for the Preliminary Multiple Subject Credential and complete an additional 12 units of online graduate courses in education. Integrated coursework and hands-on teaching experiences emphasize effective, result-oriented teaching strategies, differentiated instruction, and the practical, real-world skills necessary to manage classrooms within differing organizational structures (e.g., combination classes and block classes).

The fundamental purpose of the teacher preparation program is to develop the next generation of teachers, who by nature will be responsible for educating our children and helping to create productive citizens in a democracy. As such, teacher candidates are held to the highest levels of professional and ethical conduct.

At Humphreys University, we educate motivated and determined students who desire a practical, affordable, and accessible academic program. To accommodate our working students, we offer our courses online, evenings, and in hybrid formats. We operate on an eleven-week quarter system with four quarters per year. You can start the credential program at the start of any of our four terms. The application process is easy and financial aid specialists are available to walk you through the financial aid process.

Students in the MAT program will be able to…

• Analyze information about a given class and about specific focus students within the class such as an English learner or a student with identified special needs;
• Plan appropriate subject-specific instruction and assessment for all students in alignment with state-adopted K-12 student academic content standards and/or frameworks;
• Implement the instruction according to the lesson plans he/she has developed, and reflect upon the outcomes of that instruction, including evidence of student learning;
• Design and implement assessment activities appropriate to the lesson and to the learners and use the assessment results to inform the next round of lesson planning;
• Design projects to gather data to answer education research questions and/or solve problems.
