MAT
Willamette’s Master of Arts in Teaching program has both a full-time and part-time option. Within these programs, there are four focuses of curriculum: early childhood, elementary for grades 3 to 8, middle level for grades 5 to 9, and secondary for grades 7 to 12. The MAT program began in 1992, with the School of Education forming in 1996.
The full-time program lasts ten months and includes a year long placement in a public school. The part-time program is a two-year option named Aspire. This also includes placement in a public school, but is more flexible to time constraints as it is designed for working adults started in 2004.
Four MAT alums have received the Milken Family Foundation’s Milken Educator Award since 2000. The $25,000 award is given to educators who make efforts to furthering excellence in education.

Famous quotes containing the word mat:
“Or on the Mat devoutly kneeling
Would lift her Eyes up to the Ceiling,
And heave her Bosom unaware
For neighb’ring Beaux to see it bare.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
