Applicants should demonstrate interest, skill and commitment to collaboration with teaching colleagues while also working independently with shared goals. We are a coordinated studies program where faculty plan both in community and on their own so that there is continuity in the learning experiences for teacher candidates and clear developmental attention to the goals of the program. This practice also creates interdisciplinary opportunities for faculty to learn.

Fall 2025 courses occur in the evenings after 4pm.

MiT faculty teach as part of an interdisciplinary team, at a 15:1 student/faculty ratio. We are a coordinated studies program where faculty plan together, which involves extensive meeting time as well as solo preparation, so that there is continuity in the learning experiences for candidates.

Our teaching is student-centered, which means we are interested in helping teacher candidates develop strong skills in critical thinking, problem solving, communication, and collaborative work. We are particularly interested in approaches to teaching that emphasize diversity, equity, and inclusion, and draw on culturally sustaining practices.
