Marygrove College Hosts Booth at New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) Convention
Detroit, MI, November 07, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Working teachers who are looking to enhance their professional careers with an online Master in the Art of Teaching (MAT) program should visit the Marygrove College MAT booth at the 2011 New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) Convention in Atlantic City, Nov. 10-11. For teachers around the nation, becoming a Master Teacher can provide an elevated level of job security and career advancement in tough economic times.
Marygrove’s booth is number 834, located adjacent to the New Jersey Center for Teaching and Learning booth. The booth is easily accessible from the Technology Demo area.
According to the NJEA, the convention is the largest educational gathering of its kind anywhere in the world. The 157th annual convention is expected to draw tens of thousands of visitors - members, teachers and educational support professionals who participate in over 300 seminars, workshops, and programs. The exhibit area features more than 700 vendors and exhibitors.
Of particular interest to teachers each year is “High Tech Hall” at the NJEA Convention. High Tech Hall will feature a Teacher-to-Teacher Learning Lab, offering key insight into how other educators are utilizing technology in their schools and classrooms. Tech-savvy teachers are encouraged to post a comment on Marygrove College’s new MAT program blog or tweet about what’s new.
"Marygrove College believes in New Jersey's dedicated, hard-working teachers," says Diane Brown, Academic Director, Marygrove MAT. "Teaching has always been an uphill battle and recent legislation has made it even more difficult…I look forward to shaking the hands of my colleagues at NJEA."
Founded by the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Marygrove College is an historic brick and mortar school rooted in the Catholic tradition; they have been educating teachers since 1917. The college was among the first teaching schools in the U.S. to offer a graduate “distance learning” program for working teachers in 1990. As of June, 2011, the online MAT program has served more than 28,000 graduates.
Marygrove’s online MAT program:
•Provides compassionate, personalized instruction at a pace that’s right for the individual teacher. Teachers can earn their Master’s degree in just two years, with a dedicated Mentor guiding them all the way through.
•Provides teachers with the opportunity to link the latest developments in educational research to their own teaching practice.
•Empowers teachers by focusing on the knowledge and skills required to deliver effective instruction to diverse learners from preschool through high school, including those with special needs.
