The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) is 32-credit hour degree program designed for working K-12 teachers. With a focus on classroom research and reflection, the OWP MAT enables teachers to work together to share practical, impactful strategies that can be directly applied to the classroom and students. Created for teachers by teachers, the OWP MAT program is flexible and meaningful for teachers looking to find their professional home.
The Teaching of Writing Certificate is an 18-credit hour program for teachers who already have their master's degree and are looking for new ways to showcase their expertise in literacy instruction. The Teaching of Writing Certificate is built on choice and flexibility, giving teachers the opportunity to explore elective classes that are meaningful to their teaching and their classrooms.
The Ohio Writing Project offers a wide variety of stand-alone courses that are open to all K-12 educators. All OWP workshops are taught by classroom teachers and focus on the best in contemporary theory and practice, involve active participation, and support teachers as they build skills across all areas of literacy. OWP credit workshops are offered in-person, online, and hybrid formats, and explore the most relevant topics in education and literacy instruction in the classroom.
