Educator Preparation Program

MAT Educator Preparation Program Statement

The preparation of school professionals is a complex process. Prospective educators must acquire a body of

general knowledge, professional knowledge, and content-specific knowledge. The Professional Education

Program at North Carolina A&T State University is committed to the development of educators who are aware

of diverse populations in their communities, who appropriately use and interpret assessment data to guide future

decision making, who engage in the skillful art of reflection to transform thinking and practice, and who use

various forms of technology to manage instruction and assessment.

Admission to the University and a content area program does NOT automatically guarantee formal admission

to the Educator Preparation Program. All MAT students are required to complete formal admission

requirements during the first semester of enrollment at the North Carolina A&T State University. Specifically,

MAT students must complete the following:

4. Read and sign the Notification and Acknowledgment of Criminal Background Form
