Upon entering the program, Brown MAT students join a powerful network of educators – including our distinguished faculty and a large and supportive group of alumni. Our graduates inspire learning and advance equity in urban classrooms and schools across the country and locally in Providence. They pursue leadership opportunities in the classroom, the community, and beyond. Early in their careers, many Brown MAT alumni become department chairs, peer coaches, mentor teachers, and professional development consultants. As teachers, educational researchers, school leaders, and community advocates, they work to build the learning communities that all students deserve.
Our graduates are prepared to face the unique challenges found in urban schools. Today, more than 80 percent of Brown MAT graduates remain teaching in urban communities after five years compared with 50 percent of teachers nationwide.
