Master in Teaching 2025-26 ML Integrated Pathway

The 2nd and 3rd quarters of the MiT ML Pathway will continue the work of learning to teach while centering the voices and experiences of Multilingual Learners.

In the fall (quarter 2), the focus is on the integration of content and language. At the end of August, as teachers return to school, you will participate in a part-time field experience in a classroom which will provide a glimpse into how teachers begin the year with students. During this experience, you will keep a reflective journal and collect strategies and resources for teaching. When classes officially begin at Evergreen, you will continue with your part-time field experience in addition to attending classes at Evergreen. Each strand will leverage the integration and alignment of content and language for multilingual learners and will emphasize students’ meaning-making in the content areas, language learning, and interactions in cooperative and shared learning environments. Praxis strands (i.e. content area methods of instruction) will focus on the design and implementation of curriculum, instruction, and assessment with an emphasis on language development expectations/targets, designing lessons using Washington State Standards, and applying strategies for MLs. Teacher Candidates will complete 150 hours of their ML practicum. Students who successfully complete the Fall quarter/Quarter 2 will earn credit in either Elementary or Secondary areas: Elementary Mathematics Praxis OR Secondary Content Praxis; ML Instructional Strategies; Indigenous Education and History in Washington State; Culturally Responsive Classroom Management; Inclusive and Differentiated Instruction; Field Experience.

In the winter (quarter 3), you will continue the focus on the integration of content and language. You will transition to a content area field experience and will continue in a part-time field experience. You will engage in lesson planning, analyzing student work, teach mini lessons, and connect with families and community in both your field experience and your program strands. In addition, you will begin the work of developing the skills to conduct your Master's Project on a question you have related to planning, teaching, and/or assessment of ML students. All of your work this quarter will continue to center the practices that support all students and in particular, language learners, in your classrooms. Students who successfully complete the Winter quarter/Quarter 3 will earn credit in either Elementary or Secondary areas: Elementary Science, Literacy, & Social Studies Praxis OR Secondary Content Praxis; Linguistics & Grammar for Educators; Culturally Responsive Teaching & Learning; Assessment Strategies; Culturally Responsive Classroom Management; Master's Project; Field Experience.
