You start the program by working alongside experienced teachers while gradually growing your responsibilities for teaching in these classrooms. As a result, you will be well prepared to teach and help students achieve academic excellence despite the challenges they might face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Field-based Experience<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dark-color has-text-color\">The field-based setting is invaluable in building a sense of community with your instructors, cohort peers, coaching teachers, and students. The MAC program assigns you teaching placements in middle and high schools throughout Michigan. In the field-based training, you work closely with expert university and school faculty who facilitate and support your growing expertise in teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Flexible Learning Format<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dark-color has-text-color\">The master\u2019s degree in Secondary Education with Certification program\u2019s robust emphasis on field experience is coupled with seminars and courses offered in a mixed-mode learning format. In the first year you will consult with a course instructor and school-based mentor to arrange 10-12 hours per week of field experience based on your availability. Courses are offered online, either synchronously or asynchronously. This flexible format empowers you to balance your work, school, and life commitments and take courses around your schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Secondary Education Certification in One Year<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dark-color has-text-color\">Our MA in Secondary Education program is an authorized Alternate Route Provider with the State of Michigan. MAC candidates who pass a Michigan Test for Teacher Certification content area test and successfully complete the first year of the program are eligible for a Michigan Interim Teaching Certificate and employment while completing the remainder of the program.<br><br>However, students may also choose the traditional route to take the MTTC tests and earn their teaching certification after their completion of the MAC program.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light h-auto\" style=\"min-height:20px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#c9cacd\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized inline-image-paragraph mt-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www-s3.umflint.edu\/wp\/blogs.dir\/18\/files\/2022\/02\/Quotes-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"Quote Marks\" class=\"wp-image-1803\" style=\"width:61px;height:61px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www-s3.umflint.edu\/wp\/blogs.dir\/18\/files\/2022\/02\/Quotes-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www-s3.umflint.edu\/wp\/blogs.dir\/18\/files\/2022\/02\/Quotes-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www-s3.umflint.edu\/wp\/blogs.dir\/18\/files\/2022\/02\/Quotes-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www-s3.umflint.edu\/wp\/blogs.dir\/18\/files\/2022\/02\/Quotes-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www-s3.umflint.edu\/wp\/blogs.dir\/18\/files\/2022\/02\/Quotes.png 1250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mt-3 has-dark-color has-text-color\">The MAC program offers courses that not only give you insight on how to be a teacher, but how to see the world through the realms of inclusivity, equity, and growth mindsets. I feel I am more equipped not just as a teacher, but as an advocate in my community. As a student teacher, I am getting certifications in both music education and mathematics. Something that is discussed in the education field is the anxiety students and even teachers get when it comes to math. One of my passions is making math understandable in a way that it seems like a puzzle with certain rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-css-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dark-color has-text-color\"><strong>Mitch Sansiribhan<\/strong><br><em>Master of Arts with Certification 2022<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"555\" height=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/www-s3.umflint.edu\/wp\/blogs.dir\/18\/files\/2021\/11\/Sansiribhan.jpg\" alt=\"Mitch Sansiribhan\" class=\"wp-image-1480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www-s3.umflint.edu\/wp\/blogs.dir\/18\/files\/2021\/11\/Sansiribhan.jpg 555w, https:\/\/www-s3.umflint.edu\/wp\/blogs.dir\/18\/files\/2021\/11\/Sansiribhan-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 555px) 100vw, 555px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Engaging Cohort Environment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dark-color has-text-color\">The MA in Secondary Education with Certification program is cohort-based.
