Abstract

The Professional Immersion Master of Arts in Teaching (ProMAT) program is a cooperative venture between Johns Hopkins University and Montgomery County (Maryland) Public Schools, a large school district that has experienced increased urbanization. This graduate-level teacher preparation program provides candidates with extensive internship experiences, a high degree of supervisory support, and significant financial assistance. The school district provides tuition assistance in return for a multiyear commitment by candidates to teach in the district. Data from an exit survey indicate candidate satisfaction with the program. A comparison of Praxis II Pedagogy examination scores with state minimum passing scores shows that in two thirds of the ProMAT certification areas, candidates score significantly higher than the state’s required passing scores.
