Program Description:
The Master of Arts degree in Teaching and Learning (M.A.T.L.) degree program has been designed by Nova
Southeastern University in cooperation with SkyLight to meet the needs of busy classroom practitioners by linking
theory to best practices in the classroom. As you learn from today's leading educational theorists, master teachers
will model and reflect on best practice strategies that you can begin to implement and develop as part of your daily
classroom repertoire.
The M.A.T.L. degree program is composed of integrated curricular blocks, each consisting
of six graduate credit hours. Each block contains multi-dimensional modules that cover specific academic subject
areas. Course concepts are reinforced by combining peer interaction, best practice videos and active applications in a
problem-based learning framework. Video and online distance education technologies are used to create a productive and
enriching educational experience for each participant.
This degree program is a 30-credit-hour sequential
curriculum, which can be completed in only 14 months. There are four 10-week terms and one 8-week summer term; courses
are configured in blocks of six credit hours each. Enrollees have the opportunity to earn a specialization in one of
the following areas:
Curriculum and Instruction - Investigates instructional models.
Elementary Reading
- Focuses on primary reading strategies and language.
Elementary Math - Concentrates on essential primary
mathematics skills.
