The Marygrove College, in conjunction with the Teachscape, Inc. of San Fransisco, is offering two new online graduate programs, one for elementary school teachers and the other for those who teach secondary school. Master in the Art of Teaching (MAT) in Reading & Literacy, Grades K-6 focuses on the structure of language and the five components of reading while MAT in Mathematics, Grades K-5 will help teachers improve their understanding of fundamental mathematics and help build their conceptual knowledge in the subject.

Marygrove, an independent liberal arts college based in Detroit, is a forerunner in the field of online graduate studies for teachers. It has graduated over 20,000 teachers since the MAT course’s inception in 1996, a figure that makes the program one of the biggest in the country.
