Program Description
This curriculum prepares students to transfer to any secondary
education mathematics program at a four-year college or university
in the state of Maryland. The AAT articulates with all Maryland
transfer programs in mathematics education. The program enables
students to fulfill their General Education requirements, participate
in fieldwork experiences, and complete a core of professional
education coursework appropriate for the first two years of teacher
preparation. To earn the AAT students must achieve a minimum of
a 2.75 cumulative GPA and present acceptable scores on a state-
approved basic skills test.
Program Outcomes
Upon completion of this program a student will be able to:
Identify major historical events in education and analyze
the impact of those events with current educational trends.
Identify the psychological, cognitive, emotional, and
physical characteristics of typically developing children
and adolescents, with specific consideration to disabilities
and cultural and linguistic diversity.
Analyze and critique current scientifically-based research
and culturally responsive instructional practices for the
purpose of understanding the educational needs of
students and families.
Identify the current and inclusive philosophies for
differentiating instruction to analyze, improve, and
facilitate instruction for diverse learners.
Demonstrate and utilize technology as a
teaching/reinforcement tool.
Develop excellent written, verbal, critical thinking, and
problem solving skills, which will allow him or her to
