Posted Monday, February 2, 2009 by Education Programs

Our first class of the Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship at the University of Indianapolis will begin in the summer or 2009 with school-based experiences from day one.  UIndy Fellows will be immersed in classrooms, and these clinical experiences will be closely linked with the project-based curriculum in their graduate education program.

  • Are interested in teaching in a high-need school in Indiana
  • Are willing to reside in Indiana while completing their masters degree in education and three–year teaching commitment.

The fellowship in our graduate education program does not require previous coursework in education nor prior teaching experience.  UIndy Woodrow Wilson Fellows will become teacher-leaders for 21st century urban schools and will be prepared to lead their own classroom, with mentoring, during the second semester of the program.  Applicants must apply to the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation by December 15th of each year to begin graduate studies in the following summer.  For more information, visit the Fellowship’s website at www.woodrow.org, our web site at education.uindy.edu/teachingfellowship/index.php, or contact Dr. Jen Drake at jdrake@uindy.edu.

Welcome to the University of Indianapolis School of Education Graduate Programs: Introduction to the Master of Arts in Teaching Program
Posted Monday, February 2, 2009 by Education Programs

According to the National Education Association, an historic change is taking place in America.  While K-12 student enrollments are growing, the pool of qualified teachers is shrinking as nearly one million of them approach retirement.  Other experts report as many as two million new teachers are needed over the next decade to keep pace with this changing educational landscape. 

Maybe you thought about a teacher education program as an undergraduate, but decided to pursue another career path.  Now you've discovered your true calling is teaching and helping young people achieve academic success.  If so, the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program at the University of Indianapolis may be the change you need.  

The Master of Arts in Teaching Program is designed for career changers who wish to become secondary school (middle/junior high and high school) teachers.  Candidates can apply to this graduate education program if they have completed an undergraduate degree from a regionally accredited university with a GPA of 2.5 or higher and have passed Praxis I, a pre-professional skills test (Reading, Writing, and Mathematics) required of all teachers.  Middle Level/High School Licenses are offered in the specialty areas of Mathematics, Business, Science (Biology, Chemistry, Earth-Space Science, and Physics), English Language Arts, Theater, Social Studies, and Modern Languages (French, Spanish, and German).  All Grade Licenses are offered in Music, Health/Physical Education, and Visual Arts.  Candidates in the MAT teacher education program are assigned to a cohort group devoted to best practices in teaching.  Additional information is available at education/uindy.edu/mat/ or contact Dr. Angelia Ridgway via e-mail at aridgway@uindy.edu. 

Make your career goals a reality.  Our graduate education programs are known for their small classes and personal attention from supportive, experienced faculty.  If you have an undergraduate degree from an accredited public or private college or university as well as a desire for a rewarding K-12 teaching career, the time for change through our MAT teacher education program is now.
