AAT Program
Aspire to Inspire! Becoming a teacher is one of the most rewarding careers you can choose.
Leeward’s teacher education program provides a supportive learning environment where future teachers can come together to network, support, and grow with one another.
You’ll become part of our ohana, supported by a wide variety of help. You’ll receive the latest information on scholarships, transfer options, events, and job openings. The program also offers a convenient and flexible scheduling of courses, including day, evening and online!
The Associate of Arts in Teaching degree program is designed to provide a career ladder for teaching. The program prepares you to be an effective educator and provides a solid foundation for those interested in pursuing a baccalaureate degree in education.
Degree Requirements
Why choose the AAT degree over a regular AA? The AAT degree allows you to jump start your study of education by offering education course and field experiences in your freshmen and sophomore years. This allows you to make an earlier informed decision as to whether education as a career is right for you. The AAT degree also embeds field experiences in most pre-professional education courses, so you'll learn about teaching in local classrooms with experienced teachers.
