Master of Arts in Teaching (for Aspiring Teachers Grades 5 - 12)
Teaching children during their formative years of adolescence is a challenge that can be personally and financially rewarding. In this profession, you could serve as both mentor and coach--imparting academic knowledge and helping to shape students' views of their own self-worth and their roles in the world around them. If you are ready to experience the tremendous satisfaction that comes from preparing teens for the future, the Master of Arts in Teaching program at Kaplan University is designed to help you develop the necessary professional competencies to teach at the secondary (grades 5- 12) level.*
If you enroll in the Iowa certification track you have the option of completing student teaching or a year-long internship as the program's culminating experience.† You will have the opportunity to progress from observing classroom dynamics to leading small-group instruction, eventually assuming full responsibility for the classroom. Interact with professional mentors, supervisors, and colleagues as you refine your philosophy of education and study to develop proficiency in teaching.
