Hands-on Learning
Using their understanding of the diverse characteristics and abilities of each student, as well as how individuals develop and learn within the context of their social, economic, cultural, linguistic and academic experiences, MAT candidates will create instructional opportunities that maximize student learning during student teaching. Through careful planning, content, practice and management, student teachers will create and foster a supportive learning environment.
In the school setting, MAT candidates will demonstrate evidence-based instructional techniques, and will incorporate research-based strategies and interventions, as well as resources and technologies to meet the diverse learning needs of students. Student learning will be monitored, and student teachers will adjust instruction accordingly using their knowledge of the purpose, characteristics and usage of assessment types.
