The award winning MAET program has a unique and rigorous approach towards instruction and professional development. Our goal is to support and develop thoughtful, innovative practitioners who integrate content, technology and pedagogy in creative ways.

Learning by Design. Our instructional approach involves real world, hands-on engagement with tools, pedagogies and their relationship to core constructs in the STEM disciplines. In this we are driven by our cutting-edge research on the internationally recognized TPACK (Technology Pedagogical Content Knowledge) framework... Innovative use of technology. Our program is not about the latest and greatest tools but rather aims to help teachers thoughtfully repurpose existing tools at their disposal to meet student-learning goals. We seek technology integration..
