What will I learn?

Overview

As an undergraduate majoring in physics or a closely related field, you developed and expanded your knowledge of fundamental natural phenomena and the interaction of natural forces that exert themselves all around us. Whether you are intrigued by the implications of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity or the existence of black holes in space, you want to share your interest with others through teaching. Dive deeply into the "fundamental science" of physics - everything from subatomic particles and quantum mechanics to the exploration of outer space - when you study for the M.A.T. in adolescence education: physics (7-12) at SUNY Cortland.

Program Highlights:

Enhance your content knowledge through graduate courses in physics as you immerse yourself in learning about successful classroom teaching. In your introduction to adolescence education and advanced developmental psychology, you'll explore the nature of the adolescent learner. Through courses in literacy development, language acquisition and science teaching methodology, you'll develop teaching strategies that work best with students whose ability, motivation and interests differ widely. In your field experiences and student teaching, you'll work in public school science classrooms with veteran teachers who support your integration of educational theory with the best teaching practices.
