Master in Teaching Program
This progressive, performance-based cohort teacher-certification and master's-degree
program extends over 14 months of full-time coursework and a year-long
school practicum. This rigorous program is characterized by (1) integration
of academic work with an ongoing field experience; (2) programmatic coherence
both from course to course and from on-campus to field work; (3) systematic
study of classroom practice; and (4) individual self-reflection and renewal.
All teacher candidates design a Teacher Work Sample (TWS). Through this
performance assessment, MIT candidates provide credible evidence of their
ability to facilitate and improve student learning. Because of the significance
of the TWS, most of the courses in the program address specific standards
of the TWS.
The Washington State Board of Education has approved the MIT program
and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE)
has accredited it. Whitworth has a long-standing excellent reputation
for teacher preparation and consistently has one of the highest placement
rates in the state. MIT graduates have received teaching positions in
every state and many have taken positions overseas in schools and mission
settings.
