Inservice Options: Master of Arts in Teaching and Master of Education
Lewis & Clark's inservice M.A.T./M.Ed. programs offer elementary, middle school, and secondary options for teachers wishing to engage in advanced study and improve their teaching practice. Teachers who hold an Oregon Basic License may pursue the Oregon Standard Teaching License. Teachers who hold an Oregon Initial License may pursue the Oregon Continuing Teaching License as part of their M.A.T. or M.Ed. program. The M.A.T. degree requires both liberal arts and professional education courses. The program for elementary teachers offers courses appropriate for the licensed teacher of the self-contained classroom through grade 8 and the self-contained classroom in grades 5 and 6 in middle school, with opportunity for study in a variety of subject areas. Elementary teachers who hold an Initial License may combine work for the Continuing License with their master's degree.
The middle-level and high school programs are designed to help licensed teachers develop further competence in teaching one or several academic disciplines in middle and/or high schools in grades 5-12. Subject-matter endorsement areas include art, drama, ESOL/bilingual education, foreign languages (French, German, or Spanish), language arts, mathematics, music, reading, science (biology, chemistry, integrated science, or physics), and social studies. Those with an interest in educating students with special needs may complete coursework and practica to obtain a Special Educator Endorsement and a master of education degree.
