MAT Candidate Brochure

This form will supply information about you for the Willamette University Master of Arts in Teaching Program Candidate Brochure, which is sent to school administrators across the state and southwest Washington. Please complete all items and click the "Submit Form" button at the bottom of the form. This information will be sent via e-mail to Debbie Harvey and your guide group leader. She or Debbie or your guide group leader may get back to you with any questions.

The deadline for electronic submission to your guide group leader is end of the fall semester in December. This is a chance to put your best foot forward to prospective employers. Thank you for your help!

Guidelines

When it is printed, your Candidate Brochure entry must total no more than 18 lines. The 18-line limit may be difficult to ascertain when you are completing the electronic form. It may help to remember that one line typically ranges from 7–11 words, with an average of nine words. Adhere to this rule of thumb as closely as possible.

Your information will be returned edited by us and for additional editing by you if it exceeds this limit. You will all have an opportunity to review and revise your submission at a later date. You can view the completed sample form for suggestions on how to phrase things and/or where to enter certain types of information.

It is critical that you follow the exact format that is in the examples and guidelines nested alongside each item in the form below.

If you have any questions, please contact Debbie Harvey or your guide group leader.
