MAT Plus
School districts highly value teachers who have specialist endorsements on their licenses. We have created a program for teacher candidates to reach this goal during their Initial Teacher Licensure preparation.
MAT Plus offers specialist endorsements in:
- English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)
- ESOL/Bilingual
- Reading
- Special Education
- Online Teaching Endorsement (Boise only)
Eleven additional semester credit hours are completed online during the MAT for ESOL and Reading specialist endorsements. The 19 credits for the Special Ed endorsement are offered in a variety of formats (not all online).
