alternative certification program

TEACH Delta Region is a partnership between The University of Louisiana at Monroe and Jackson State University in Jackson, Mississippi and partnered high-need school districts across the two states. The focus of the project is to expand and enhance alternative certification programs at each university that allow candidates to achieve full certification through high quality state approved programs within a short period of time. The vehicle for certification is a Masters of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) in elementary, secondary and special education, which can be completed in as few as 14 months. The goal and purpose of the program is to increase the number of certified teachers in partner school districts and increase the types of support new teachers receive.
