Extensive teaching apprenticeships in partner schools
In forming partnerships with schools in the Hudson Valley, the Bard MAT Program has created fully integrated professional learning communities (college program, student teacher, partner school, mentor teacher). During the summer term, Bard MAT students complete a field experience in social emotional learning and restorative practices at Ramapo for Children. During the fall and spring terms, under the guidance of a MAT mentor teacher and field supervisor,Bard MAT students complete extensive teaching apprenticeships in our MAT partner schools.
