The Tufts Department of Education and the Newton Teacher Residency (NTR) program collaborate in a joint M.A.T. program that allows participants to student teach as an apprentice at Newton North or Newton South High School in Newton, Massachusetts, for an entire school year. This collaboration makes it possible for NTR candidates to earn a Master of Arts in Teaching from Tufts University after completing their practicum with NTR and the required course credits at the Tufts Department of Education.

There are two stages to the application process: first, the candidate must apply to the Newton Teacher Residency, and second, to Tufts University. Candidates who are admitted into both programs receive graduate credit at Tufts University for their work in the Newton Teacher Residency, and are eligible to apply for Massachusetts initial teacher licensure in grades 8-12. Candidates complete additional coursework for their M.A.T. at Tufts during two summers or during an additional year at Tufts.
