Catalog Full Description
The Master of Arts in Education Learning and Teaching (MALT) is an innovative program of study which integrates research and practice. The program is designed for aspiring PreK-12 teachers who wish to concurrently earn their master’s degree while meeting the State of California-approved requirements for the Preliminary Teaching Credential in either single or multiple subjects or Mild to Moderate Support Needs Special Education Preliminary Credential.
The MALT program is delivered in a 36-39 credit hour sequence accompanied by early fieldwork experiences. Educational technology is incorporated in all courses, field experiences, and CalTPA cycles, as are theory and skills needed to effectively teach English learners and diverse student populations enrolled in today’s classrooms.
