Earn Your Masters in Teaching from the College

Have you ever considered becoming a teacher but thought it would take too long to earn your degree?

If you have an undergraduate degree in any discipline and want to become an elementary school teacher, the College of Charleston’s accelerated Masters of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T) degree may be the right choice for you.

At the College of Charleston, students in the rigorous and close- knit MAT cohort will learn from top notch professors and their peers in a fast-paced exciting classroom setting while simultaneously enriching their “outside of the classroom” knowledge with meaningful internship and field experiences in local schools.

The College of Charleston is now accepting applications of qualified candidates who desire to earn their master’s degree in teaching and enter the elementary classroom (grades 2-6) as a fully credentialed master’s level teacher in about one year.

The application deadline is April 1. Find more information on the Elementary Education website.

*Application fee waivers are available! Contact Dr. Brian K. Lanahan (Lanahanb@cofc.edu) to learn more.

WHAT IS THE GOAL OF Y GIRLS CODE?

Y Girls Code is dedicated to closing the gender gap in technology by increasing the number
of girls interested in technology and creating a pipeline of future tech engineers.

HOW DOES THE PROGRAM WORK?

Participating girls learn key concepts behind computer programming languages, whether
their goal is to build an app, create a website, or program a robot. Additionally, the club
environment encourages sisterhood. Activities are designed to increase self awareness,
confidence, and esteem.

WHO FACILITATES Y GIRLS CODE MEETINGS?

Club facilitators. These are not required to have a coding background. We encourage afterschool
teachers or other interested staff to support the club by walking the girls through
the online modules. Ideally the facilitator-to-student ratio should be 1 for every 10
students, with 10-12 students in total, and no more than 2 students per computer.

IS THERE A CURRICULUM TO Y GIRLS CODE?

Yes! It’s a curriculum consisting of online modules. Facilitators and volunteers will
complete a course that familiarizes them with this curriculum, and will then walk the
students through it. This will be provided by the Y Girls Code program.

WHERE IS Y GIRLS CODE?

The following locations are currently seeking volunteers:

Kids On Point
