Intern Teacher Credential + Master of Arts in Teaching Program

The job-embedded Intern Credential Program and Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs support equity-oriented district and charter school teachers to transform educational experiences for historically underserved students. Candidates pursue either a multiple subject or single subject California Preliminary Teaching Credential. In addition, candidates can choose to enroll in the optional MAT degree. The Intern and MAT programs are completed over the course of 21 months. A one–year Early Completion Option intern program is also available to experienced educators. All intern and MAT candidates work as teachers while engaging in graduate level coursework amongst a reflective learning community where caring relationships with faculty, coaches, and a cohort of peers serve as catalysts for deep learning and professional growth.

Master of Education in Teaching & Induction Program

The Master of Education in Teaching & Induction Program will help you use research and practitioner literature to address problems of practice in your classroom while developing an inquiry-based mindset to improve your instructional skills. Reach believes that an inquiry and research-based approach to teaching is vitally important to high quality teaching. The program supports teachers to move from using habits of inquiry in addressing problems of practice to designing robust research questions and consulting research and professional literature to expand their thinking about their practice. Teachers apply this new knowledge to a problem of practice, gather resultant data and analyze their findings.
