Master in Teaching (M.I.T.)

A Master in Teaching (M.I.T.) degree leads to a career as an elementary or secondary school teacher. The UW College of Education offers two Master in Teaching programs, one for elementary teaching and one for secondary teaching. Students completing the elementary program earn a Washington Residency Certificate for elementary education granted by the State of Washington. Secondary program students also earn a Residency Certificate and are endorsed by the state for specific subjects. Students participate in fieldwork through a wide network of partner schools, all located in culturally diverse urban communities around the greater Seattle area. M.I.T coursework is a strongly oriented toward inquiry, both in the methods promoted among teachers and in examinations of the effectiveness of student and faculty work.
