Admissions and Application
Joining the UVEI MAT or MEd Program
We are currently accepting applications from people in the following categories:
2011/2012 Teacher Interns and Principal Interns Who Seek both Certification and an MAT or MEd
You are pursuing certification as a teacher or principal at the same time as you will be pursuing the MAT or MEd degree. Your challenge will be to balance the attention you will pay to your internships and certification competencies with the added challenges of the MAT or MEd competencies. UVEI has designed these additional ten competencies to be mutually-supportive of certification competencies. But working on them simultaneously will require an extra commitment on your part.
2005/2010 UVEI/UVTI Graduates
You are in the early years of a career as a teacher or administrator, have an electronic portfolio based on recent UVEI certification competencies, and wish to pursue a masters degree to enhance your skills and knowledge for professional advancement. For you, the challenge involves balancing your teaching/leadership responsibilities with the additional work of being a graduate student, and finding ways to gain maximum benefit for your current job while enhancing your base of professional skills and knowledge.
1999/2005 Upper Valley Teacher Institute Graduates
You enrolled in UVTI after we were accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), but without having an opportunity to develop an electronic portfolio. In addition to the responsibilities outlined above, you will be asked to reflect upon, and respond to, the new competencies added since you completed your UVTI certification program. You will also need to become familiar with an electronic portfolio system of recording evidence of competency achievement.
Future Eligibility
UVEI anticipates opening our MAT and MEd programs to additional audiences in coming years. These would include graduates of our teacher certification program prior to NEASC accreditation, as well as educators who have received certification from other institutions of higher education. As a competency-based institution, UVEI will likely request that you work with us to update the evidence of your accomplishments in areas that match our current certification requirements.
