SITE is a learn-by-doing teacher education program that can be completed in a single year. All course instruction is online (asynchronous) and the SITE student is supported by a Mentor and UF Coach in a K-6 classroom.
Please see the FAQ’s for additional information.
The University of Florida Site-based Implementation of Teacher Education (SITE) Program has received the Innovation in Teacher Education Award by the Southeastern Regional Association of Teacher Educators (SRATE).
It’s like your first year of teaching, but with plenty of support along the way.
If you majored in a subject outside of education, or worked professionally in a field outside of teaching, SITE offers training, certification and a degree to get you in front of a classroom after graduation. It’s a learn-by-doing Master’s program that can be completed in a single year.
Students in this program work in a K-6 classroom for two semesters while having access to their own mentors, coaches and professors from UF.
Like learning to fly an airplane, students are assigned a one-on-one teacher mentor who can take the steering wheel when there’s trouble. Online seminars provide research-based strategies customized to issues that SITE students face.
