TEAM-IEC is an accelerated year-long master's degree program and teaching apprenticeship with Cincinnati Public Schools. 

The TEAM-IEC program at the College of Mount St. Joseph prepares adults to enter the teaching profession through an intense and exciting learning and apprentice format. If you've ever considered changing your career or life situation to become a teacher, the Mount's TEAM-IEC program can help you reach this goal in one year. The Mount is partnering with Cincinnati Public Schools to provide the apprenticeship experience that places you in a classroom for a full school year as part of this program.

The Mount TEAM-IEC program leads to a Master of Arts in Education with a concentration in early childhood and Ohio licensure in early childhood education (preschool through third grade) for a qualified student who has a bachelor's degree. Graduates who earn this master's degree are prepared to teach young children in public or private schools as well as in other settings, such as educational assessment and tutoring clinics, residential facilities, camps, or community agencies.

Graduate students in TEAM-IEC live the experience of teaching side-by-side with a mentor teacher in Cincinnati Public Schools while learning the best theories and practices for teaching young children through a series of courses that meet state standards for licensure.
