Program Description ModMAP (Modular Multiple Alternatives Program) 1973-1974.

The Modular Multiple Alternatives Program (ModMAP) is the first competency-based individualized graduate program in teacher education in Connecticut. The program focuses on the training of elementary teachers and includes both Master's and Sixth Year level options. This program deals with creating more flexible and relevant types of teacher education through the implementation of an open-education approach to the professional growth of teachers. The ModMAP graduate program is: (1) based on the Multiple Alternatives Program which was developed and tested over a two-year period, (2) diagnostic, (3) prescriptive, (4) individualized, (5) performance-based, (6) school and community oriented, (7) computer managed, (8) modularized, and (9) clinical. The curriculum for both the Master's Degree Program and the Sixth Year Professional Diploma consist of 33 and 21 semester hours, respectively, in Analysis, Assessment, and Planning Core; Clinical Experience Modules; and Instructional and Self-Directed Study Modules.
