Unless you are willing to take ANY job in ANY school in ANY area
in Arkansas, the MAT is the best thing to do. The NTLP really
does NOT prepare you for the situations you will face in the
classroom. Also, often the support for the teachers going
through the program is nonexistent. Definitely find a way to do
the MAT.
