MASTER OF ARTS IN TEACHING - ELEMENTARY Master of Arts i Teachig Iterdiscipliary Studies (1 6) Leoa McCaughey-Oreszak, Program Director Sister Judith Costello Sister Carmela Abbruzzese Rebecca DesRoches Jeffrey Dias Barbara Dowds Susa Erickso Bobbie Fiocchio Jamie Foss Laurie Lik Boie Osbor Susa Smith Porter Doa Rousseau Purpose The MAT Program i Iterdiscipliary Studies is desiged to prepare studets with various educatioal backgrouds as elemetary teachers: Those who have a bachelor s degree ad have eared their iitial licese. Those who have a bachelor s degree ad wish to ear their iitial licese* ad MAT degree. Those who have a bachelor s degree ad have eared a professioal licese ad wish to ear a master s degree. * The Iitial Licesure compoet is a separate graduate program cosistig of eightee credits. It is geerally completed prior to begiig the MAT degree. Retetio Criteria studets must ear B- or better i each course to remai as graduate studets. If a studet does ot meet this grade requiremet i oe course, that course must be repeated. If a secod grade lower tha B- is eared (same or differet course), a studet may ot cotiue with graduate studies. Specific MTEL tests eed to be completed successfully i order to advace i the Iitial Licesure Program. (See specific tests uder program requiremets.) Philosophy Teachig is a most complex activity. It requires costat attetio to the iteractio of may variables: ature of the learer, teacher, kowledge, techique, school, commuity, ad societal cotext. Such complexity demads that the teacher be a reflective, competet, ad carig decisio-maker. Teachig does ot occur i a vacuum. Both teacher ad studet live i a society that demads high literacy, problem-solvig abilities, cocetratio, ad persoal disciplie. I such a society, kowledge is ot static or discrete. Rather, it is cotiually costructed ad requires coectio ad applicatio. I order to cotribute to that society, teachers ad studets must lear how to

Give this complexity of teachig ad its cotexts, the MAT program i Iterdiscipliary Studies seeks a visio of teachig where, i the words of Joh Dewey:...the process of moral-itellectual developmet is i practice as well as i theory a cooperative trasactio of iquiry egaged i by free, idepedet huma beigs who treat ideas ad the heritage of the past as meas ad methods for the further erichmet of life, quatitatively ad qualitatively, who use the good attaied for the discovery ad establishmet of somethig better. Itroductio to The Use of Resources i Educatio (Clapp) Program Model There are four iterrelated compoets to the MAT program: The first compoet ivolves the study of the cotexts of teachig oe s idividual orietatio ad the broader societal istitutios. These compoets emphasize the developmet of the graduate teacher as a reflective decisio-maker iteractig i the classroom ad respodig to family ad commuity iflueces. The secod compoet addresses subject matter competecy from a iterdiscipliary perspective. This approach to subject matter stresses the geerative ature of kowledge ad the importace of itegratio ad applicatio. The third compoet ceters o the elemetary studet: kowledge of how childre acquire ad develop laguage, how they lear, how they progress through stages of developmet is addressed. The fourth compoet is the research project. This experiece offers the graduate teacher the opportuity to be the reflective decisio-maker ad researcher: the graduate teacher who desigs, plas, ad carries out a appropriate research project. Course of Study The curriculum for the MAT program is oe that is based o a iterdiscipliary orietatio to kowledge. studets will approach their study i the curricula courses as humaists, social scietists, ad atural scietists. Usig the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks as a base, studets will make coectios ad see relatioships amog the various disciplies. I order to trasfer the methodology used i the graduate classroom to that of the elemetary school, attetio must be give to the developmet of the teacher ad the elemetary child. Teachers will approach these compoets as reflectors o the teachig/learig process, the cultural ad historical foudatios of schools, ad the cotexts of developmetal psychology.

Gly, Dea, School of Nursig, Sciece ad Health Professios Purpose The purpose of the Nursig Programs at Regis College is to prepare professioal urses as specialists with advaced kowledge i ursig leadership ad advaced ursig practice. The graduate ursig program becomes the foudatio for further preparatio for studies i the Doctor of Nursig Practice or other doctoral level programs. The Nursig Program at Regis College subscribes to ad fuctios withi the stated missio ad goals of the College ad is based o the belief that the liberal arts ad ursig educatio provide essetial preparatio for a variety of roles withi the ursig professio. The Nursig Program at Regis College is accredited by Accreditatio Commissio For Educatio i Nursig, Ic., formerly amed the Natioal League for Nursig Accreditig Commissio, 3343 Peachtree Road NE, Suite 850, Atlata, GA 30326, ; Website: The DNP Program is curretly i cadidacy for ACEN Accreditatio i the fall of Philosophy The Nursig programs are a itegral compoet of Regis College. Fouded upo the ideals expressed i the Gospel of Jesus Christ ad dedicated to the exploratio of religious traditios, Regis College is committed to excellece i scholarship ad service. I cocurrece with the missio of the College, the Nursig faculty accept the resposibility of providig a eviromet i which the learer ca gai a breadth of kowledge i the humaities, atural scieces, ad social scieces, as well as a i-depth uderstadig of oe sector of learig. The faculty believe that by fosterig professioal growth, they ecourage the studet to become a positive ifluece o the ursig professio ad society. The Nursig faculty are committed to the educatio of urses from the udergraduate through the graduate level. The faculty believe that multiple levels of ursig practice exist. The Nursig programs at Regis College provide the structure for multiple etry ad exit poits alog the cotiuum of the ursig professio begiig with the associate degree ad cotiuig through the master s ad doctorate degrees. The programs build a solid foudatio for future edeavors i professioal developmet ad educatioal mobility. The Nursig faculty believe the cetral cocepts of the disciplie of ursig are perso, eviromet, health, ad ursig. These four cocepts are viewed geerically. The cocept of perso may refer to idividuals, families, groups, commuities, orgaizatios, or society as a whole. The perso is a uique biopsychosocial, cultural, ad spiritual beig who cotiuously iteracts with the eviromet throughout the lifespa. Every perso has iheret digity, worth, ad idividuality, ad a right to comprehesive, compassioate health care. Eviromet refers to all the coditios, circumstaces, ad iflueces surroudig ad affectig the developmet of the perso. It refers to all possible iteral ad exteral stimuli that may ifluece behavior ad adaptatio. It may be cosidered past, preset, ad future but is always see i the cotext of the preset. Health is a dyamic state of beig ad becomig itegrated ad whole i which the idividual adapts to chages i the eviromet. Nursig, as a art ad sciece, is a developig system of kowledge about persos, health, ad their eviromet. Further, ursig is uique i the way it sythesizes the liberal arts ad the physical, biological, ad social scieces through the use of ursig process i the desig ad delivery of therapeutic ursig itervetios for idividuals, families, groups, the commuity, ad society. The cocepts of adaptatio, ursig process, ad professioal role explai the relatioships ad iteractios betwee ad amog perso, eviromet, health, ad ursig. Adaptatio is a dyamic process by which the perso respods to stimuli i the eviromet while maitaiig persoal itegrity. The adaptive potetial of the perso ivolves flexible adaptatio, stability, growth, ad chage. Nursig promotes adaptatio through the systematic, deliberate, itellectual applicatio of the ursig process. Professioal role ecompasses carig, teachig, advocacy, leadership, maagemet, ad research. Therapeutic ursig itervetio, critical thikig, ad commuicatio are istrumets used to promote adaptatio, implemet ursig process, ad develop professioal role. They also provide a framework for program outcome assessmet. Nursig educatio provides opportuity for the studet to lear the art of carig based o a scietific body of kowledge that gives directio to ursig practice. Through the curriculum, the studet lears to value a holistic approach to the idividual, recogizig the perso s capacity to participate i decisio makig ad to make iformed choices. Through a sequece of plaed theoretical ad cliical experieces, icludig studet selfevaluatio ad faculty feedback, the studet is prepared to assume the role of a professioal urse. Learig is a cotiuous, lifelog process that guides the learer i the acquisitio of kowledge ad the developmet of values ad beliefs about people ad their eeds i a ever-chagig society. Learig is the active process of acquirig kowledge, skills, values, attitudes, ad abilities that result i behavioral chage. The studet lears best i a eviromet that fosters ope commuicatio ad mutual respect. Such a eviromet motivates ad ecourages participatio i the educatioal process. The climate of a academic settig offers opportuities to become more reflective, compassioate, carig, ad socially resposible. Overview of the Program i Nursig The Master of Sciece degree program i Nursig at Regis College builds o baccalaureate educatio as the appropriate foudatio for graduate educatio i ursig. Persos awarded the master s degree are prepared as urse admiistrators or advaced practice urses whose educatioal preparatio provides advaced kowledge i ursig ad the atural ad social scieces. For those persos who eter the program without prior ursig educatio, geeralist kowledge is gaied withi the first two years ad validated by registered urse licesure. The Doctor of Nursig Practice (DNP) curriculum is a post-master s curriculum built upo a advaced practice curriculum ad is desiged for the Cliical Specialist, Nurse Practitioer, Educator, or Advaced Practice Nursig Leader. Select studets who have eared a BS i ursig may be cosidered for the MS-DNP curriculum track. Through the implemetatio of the Doctor of Nursig Practice program (DNP), ursig at Regis cotiues to build o its strog ad visioary history, motivated by the educatioal demads of our health care system, while maitaiig academic ad practice expertise. The School of Nursig, Sciece & Health Professios embraces the opportuity to play a sigificat role withi Regis College ad withi the ursig professio while educatig qualified, highly skilled urses to work to ear the degree Doctor of Nursig Practice. The Nursig faculty believe that the graduate curriculum ecompasses commuicatio, therapeutic ursig itervetio, ad critical thikig for leadership ad advaced ursig practice. The graduate programs have three distict foci: 1. ursig leadership/health admiistratio for diverse health care systems 2. advaced practice i primary care of families, childre, wome, adult/geriatric, or psychiatric/metal health cliets 3. advaced practice i adult acute/critical care I order to fuctio i these roles, graduates have a comprehesive uderstadig of the research process ad demostrate research competece. The Nursig programs are desiged usig priciples of adult educatio. The faculty believe adult learers are motivated to lear ad accept resposibility for their learig. The faculty facilitate ad support the learig process. The programs plas afford flexibility for the adult learer but esure the fulfillmet of the requiremets.
