Massachusetts Institute for New Teachers (MINT)

The summer training component of the Signing Bonus Program was considered a success by the participants, by the Department's University partners, and by the districts which hired the teachers. Therefore, to meet the needs of the districts next year, the Department is expanding the Institute to include up to 500 qualified individuals, who will begin teaching in the fall of 2000.

The Institute is an intensive, seven-week, teacher training institute designed to allow qualified applicants, who meet rigorous selection standards, to progress from Provisional Certification to Provisional Certification with Advanced Standing. All Signing Bonus recipients are required to participate in MINT; other qualified individuals may earn a scholarship to attend; others may pay tuition of $2500. There will be three vendors who will deliver a curriculum reviewed and approved by Sandra Stotsky, Deputy Commissioner for Academic Affairs.
