Dear Education Advising Staff:

Social justice in the classroom requires your participation – that is the reality embraced by candidates and alumni of the Master in Teaching Program (MiT) at THE EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE in Olympia, WA .

Our nationally recognized, state accredited teacher preparation program works with candidates to earn a master’s degree and certification while obtaining the critical understanding and skills needed to teach in today’s diverse public schools. We strive to prepare teachers to create culturally responsive, equitable learning environments that support student engagement and achievement. Program graduates are being hired in Washington state, around the U.S. and internationally. Our 2013 placement rate at 90% continues the tradition of making a difference in today’s schools.

We have MiT alumni who entered the program as retired military, military spouses and dependents, and we value the life experiences they brought to the program.

Your assistance in referring potential applicants would be appreciated. We have enclosed a program flier and brochures for you to post and distribute. Check out our website for further information and video-clips at www.evergreen.edu/mit. People are also welcome to contact us for a catalog, further assistance with questions, to arrange an individual advising appointment or visit to a MiT workshop or seminar.

If you need additional materials or would like to arrange for a presentation, please contact me.

Sincerely,

Maggie Foran

MiT Associate Director
