The Teacher Academy of Maryland (TAM) program consists of four high school courses that focus on teaching as a profession, human growth and development through adolescence, learning theory, and curriculum and instruction. Throughout their coursework, TAM students observe, create, and teach lessons. They focus on creating a positive learning environment, using effective classroom management, and incorporating a variety of learning strategies to meet the needs of all students. In the final course of this sequence TAM interns apply what they have learned as they work with a mentor teacher in an upper elementary or middle school setting.

Students who successfully complete the four courses can earn college credit and scholarships for the teacher education programs at many Maryland colleges and universities.
