What is Montgomery ProMAT?
Montgomery ProMAT, the Secondary General Education, Early Childhood, Elementary Advanced Math, and Elementary Foreign Language Immersion, component of Montgomery Professional Immersion, is a two-year teacher preparation program facilitated by the partnership between Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS)and the Johns Hopkins University School of Education. ProMAT combines educational field experience and a 39-credit master’s degree program leading to teaching certification and a Master of Arts in Teaching degree from JHU. It is designed to bring second career adults, already holding an undergraduate degree, into the field of education. MCPS attempts to fill areas of critical need. MCPS does NOT need ProMAT candidates in general elementary education, secondary social studies, English, Biology, Earth Science, French, and ESOL. For more information on these areas of certification preparation, please see other JHU MAT programs.
