Associate of Arts in Teaching Degree Programs

The AAT Model
TQEDuring the initial development of the middle school certification programs as part of the TQE Project, several concerns came to light. These issues of transfer credit, applicability of credit towards certification, entrance/exit exams, and admission delays (among other things) led to a systematic examination of transfers for all majors. Our TQE recommendations eventually were transformed by the Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE) and the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) into a systemic initiative that has become known as the Associate of Arts in Teaching (AAT) degree. The development of the AAT degree model has taken on a life of its own. The resulting AAT degrees in high needs areas are offered by the ICCB at a growing number of community colleges. At each step of the creation and ongoing implementation of the AAT degree, the TQE Leadership Team has served in a leadership capacity on the AAT development teams. In addition, our College of Education Dean has continued to serve on the AAT Steering Committee to advocate for our collective students as they transistion across institutions.
