University of Maryland (UMD) Creative Initiatives in Teacher Education (CITE)
 Friday, June 23, 4:30–5:30 p.m.
 RSVP on PDO, course #87596

Have you considered becoming an elementary teacher in MCPS? The University of Maryland’s Creative Initiatives in Teacher Education (CITE) program prepares participants to become general education teachers in grades 1-6. This program is well matched to individuals who hold a bachelor’s degree and want to earn a master’s degree and certification in elementary education. Participants work as paraeducators during the program. CITE students begin internship experiences throughout the six-semester program and must be willing to work at least two hours a day in the general education elementary classroom with an MCPS mentor teacher.
