11. Johns Hopkins University • Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) • The Johns Hopkins Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program prepares candidates for initial certification in Maryland as elementary or secondary teachers. Offering part- and full-time options, the degree integrates the content and classroom experience required for certification and for effective teaching. The MAT is designed for recent graduates of bachelor or graduate degree programs in appropriate content areas, as well as mid-career professionals who desire to make a change into teaching. • There are four program options of the MAT program, each designed to accommodate your scheduling needs. Regardless of the format, all candidates fulfill the same general requirements for the MAT program. The formats include: • The Flexible Master of Arts in Teaching (FlexMAT) provides part-time opportunities to become a teacher. • The School Immersion Master of Arts in Teaching (SIMAT) is a full-time, 12-month option that includes a full-year internship. • The Professional Immersion Master of Arts in Teaching (ProMAT) enables candidates to complete the MAT degree while teaching. • The Accelerated Master of Arts in Teaching (AMAT) program provides opportunities for qualified undergraduate students to begin their master’s degree and teacher certification following their junior year. • MAT Advisers • SIMAT (410-309-1289)Linda Adamson, Lenore Cohen, Teresa Field • FlexMAT (Phone: 410-290-0747)Bill Sowders, Len Santacroce • ProMAT, Baltimore (Phone: 410-516-5239 or 410-516-6210)Lydia Lafferty, Yolanda Abel, Mary Ellen Beaty-O'Ferrall, Kate Foley, Nancy Cohen, Francine Johnson, Amy Wilson • ProMAT, Montgomery County Campus (Phone: 301-294-7105)Frank Masci, Jennifer Cuddapah, Dee Jolles

12. Johns Hopkins University • Teacher Certification • To be recommended for teacher certification, students must complete the MAT program and pass all Praxis I and II exams required by the state. Note: Praxis II requirements vary by program option. Teacher candidates may pursue certification in one of three areas of concentration: • Elementary Education (grades 1-6 and middle) • Secondary Education (grades 7 – 12) Content areas for secondary education certification include English, foreign languages (French and Spanish), mathematics, social studies, sciences (biology, chemistry, earth science, physical science, and physics) • English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), grades pre-K through 12 • Reciprocal Certification • All of the programs in teacher education at JHU are fully accredited and lead to teacher certification in the State of Maryland, which is reciprocal in most other states. A listing of the states with which we have reciprocity is provided below: • NOTE: The listing in the table below is taken from the NASDTEC Web site, http://www.nasdtec.org/report.tpl. • AlabamaAlaskaArizonaArkansasCaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareFloridaGeorgiaHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMassachusettsMichiganMississippiMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaRhode IslandSouth CarolinaTennesseeTexasUtahVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWyomingDistrict of Columbia • NOTE: Several of these states require prospective teachers to meet additional ancillary requirements (e.g., additional teacher candidate assessments and/or courses, higher GPA requirement, etc.) in order to be fully certified. In many cases, the incoming teachers are issued an initial certificate, which enables them to begin teaching, and they are given a specific time line for fulfilling any remaining teacher certification requirements.
