Johns Hopkins Professional Development Schools
Johns Hopkins University’s Professional Development School (PDS) Partnerships have been established to implement the Maryland Redesign for Teacher Education. The School Immersion Master of Arts in Teaching and Flexible Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs place interns in these partner schools. Both programs require strong academic preparation, completion and defense of a performance-based portfolio, and a synthesis of the theory and practice of teaching. In Baltimore City, MAT interns are placed at George Washington Elementary School and Paul Laurence Dunbar High School.
