The Teacher Education MAT, World Languages Education program is an initial teacher preparation program for students seeking certification to teach World Languages in grades K-12, including students previously certified to teach in another field.

The Master of Arts in Teaching is subject to any change in the Florida Administrative Code (State Board of Education Rule 6A-5.066). Students enrolled in this program should remain in close contact with their adviser to keep informed of any program changes implemented to comply with new state requirements.

The Teacher Education MAT, World Languages Education requires a minimum of 39 credit hours beyond the bachelor's degree. The program is a K-12 program for noneducation majors at the undergraduate level or teachers previously certified in another field.

The MAT requires an online portfolio of both reflective practice/analysis of professional development and demonstration of attainment of the beginning level of performance for all Florida Educator Accomplished Practices (FEAPs). Multiple artifacts and reflective analysis are required for each of the accomplished practices. All portfolio entries are critical components of learning since they are the primary means of accessing the professional development of students as reflective practitioners. In addition, an internship is required.

All initial teacher preparation program candidates are required to purchase a subscription to Student Learning and Licensure. Candidates are required to upload artifacts in most courses, including the final internship sequence. See, here.
