<p>I’ve been considering going back to school and completing my degree. I’ve mentioned it on this blog several times. One of my friends from high school is my dentist and another is a geologist – that’s right, a scientist. Still another is a middle school math teacher at the local school. She will probably be my son’s math teacher. It can be disheartening to look at the people around me and see the achievements they have made. While I am excited to see them succeed, I am also a little sad that I feel I haven’t. I know that I haven’t reached my full potential yet.
<p>The USC Rossier School of Education’s MAT at USC can change all of that. Not just for me, but for anyone. They are offering current educators and even aspiring teachers the opportunity to earn a Master of Arts in Teaching degree online. If I ever did finish up my degree and then decide to go for a Masters of Arts in Teaching, I would have to learn online. I would need the flexibility of an online or distance learning course in order to work while I complete my degree.
<p>Flexibility is a must, and the groundbreaking tuition reimbursement program is the icing on the cake. Another huge must is the ability to get it all done quickly. With this accelerated program, you could have your Master of Arts in Teaching in as little as 12 months. That is just one year until you can take the next step in your life.
<p>Rossier and the MAT@USC were awarded by AACTE for innovative use of technology in education. While the program does obviously use technology to get you in touch with your classmates and your instructors, they combine online learning with field-based experiences. There is also a Technology video that introduces the interactivity of the program. You can find more program information here.
<p>After you have completed the program, you will have your Master of Arts in Teaching from the prestigious USC, and be a part of the USC Trojan Family. So, you’ll be able to rock those fancy USC alumni license plate frames. You’ll be a part of the proud history of this university whish has over 100 years of educating teachers to be agents of change.
