The Brookline Public School System, in collaboration with Lesley University, offers an intensive field-based Master’s of Education degree and initial license for individuals who want to be teachers of students with moderate disabilities.

In the LAB teacher candidates are paid a stipend to work as assistant teachers in a Brookline Public School, where they are viewed as members of the faculty and are immersed in the life of the school for an entire academic year.
