The program is a K-12 program for noneducation majors at the undergraduate level or teachers previously certified in another field. The MAT requires an online portfolio of both reflective practice/analysis of professional development and demonstration of attainment of the beginning level of performance for all Florida Educator Accomplished Practices (FEAPs). Multiple artifacts and reflective analysis are required for each of the accomplished practices. All portfolio entries are critical components of learning since they are the primary means of accessing the professional development of students as reflective practitioners.

Watermark access is required for the portfolio. Total Credit Hours Required: 37 Credit Hours Minimum beyond the Bachelor’s Degree.
