Northern Plains Transition to Teaching

TEACHING. You've thought about it. Now do it.

The Northern Plains Transition to Teaching program is designed to provide a compact, rigorous, and diverse system of preparation to move seasoned professionals with established records of excellence into a new career in the public school classroom as competent educators prepared to meet the needs of all learners and to continue their own professional development throughout the course of their new career.

"I must congratulate you and your staff on the excellent preparation I received.  I started teaching last year, and I was amazed at how many times subjects I had just studied came up in team meetings.  I was prepared to participate and could keep up!"

 

"The program support and participant diversity enhanced my learning

experience. Both the academics and the internship were practical tools

that I have been utilizing in my second year of teaching... and beyond."

"The NPTT program allowed me to begin my transition from 'war room' to the classroom before I hung up the Air Force blue and retired. The program at MSU is the perfect transition program for professionals wanting bring their experience to today's youth.  It is obvious that Montana and Wyoming are serious about attracting experience into its classrooms that will go a long way to make education more relevant to the student."

“I am finishing my M.Ed with a sense of satisfaction for the things I have learned and the professionals I have encountered. I can't tell you enough how impressed I am with the NPTT program. The quality professors, meaningful and useful coursework, as well as the succinct nature of the program should be modeled and made available on a nation-wide scale. It is the type of program that doesn't just keep putting band-aids on the growing cancers apparent in the realm of education today, but rather presents a solution that heals from within through solid preparation and dedicated teaching.”    


"Believe in yourself.  Believe in the NPTT Program.  It really is something that you can accomplish!"
