Intern Certification for M.A.T. Programs

Take the First Step with Intern Certification for M.A.T. Programs at Marywood

The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) provides an Intern Teaching Certification for candidates who hold a bachelor鈥檚 degree and desire to work as classroom teachers while simultaneously enrolled in a graduate-level teacher preparation program. 糖心app is proud to be among a select group of institutions approved to participate in this alternate Teacher Intern Certification program in PK-4, Secondary Education, and PK-12 Music and Spanish Special Education. The certification is valid for up to three years and is non-renewable.聽

Aspiring educators gain hands-on experience through a 12-week teaching internship, which replaces traditional student teaching. Internships can begin any time after the first semester when candidates demonstrate readiness, allowing them to teach in their own classrooms while completing program requirements. An Intern Certificate allows candidates to teach in Pennsylvania while completing coursework, which must be completed within the three-year timeframe, as the certificate cannot be renewed.
