Teacher Residency Pathway
Central Washington University's Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) Teacher Residency Pathway partners with school districts to develop highly qualified teachers while addressing local educator workforce needs. Through a collaborative Grow Your Own (GYO) model, school districts play an active role in identifying future educators, selecting mentor teachers, and shaping meaningful internship experiences that reflect the needs of their schools and communities.
The MAT Teacher Residency Pathway combines graduate-level academic coursework with an extended school-based teaching internship. Teacher residents work alongside experienced mentor teachers while completing their preparation for Washington State teaching certification and a master's degree.
