The Teacher Academy of Maryland Program prepares students for postsecondary education and careers in the education profession. The program consists of four courses that focus on human growth and development, teaching as a profession, learning theory, and curriculum and instruction. These credits are designed to articulate to a Maryland postsecondary teacher education program. Upon completion of the program, students take the ParaPro or PRAXIS Core tests. This program is based on the outcomes of the Maryland Associate of Arts in Teaching degree, which aligns with the National Council for the Accreditation for Teacher Education standards. Statewide articulation agreements are in place. Students have opportunities to earn college credit and scholarships to some Maryland baccalaureate teacher education programs.
