This is an online certificate program.

The proposed Special Education (K-6) graduate certificate is designed to provide specific background, education, and skills to licensed teachers working with students with special needs in kindergarten through grade 6. Students will learn instructional design and methods, assessment practices, knowledge of and skills in reading and language development, teaching and assessing mathematics, and managing the classroom as these aspects relate to working with students with disabilities.

Students may complete the 15-credit course progression as an admitted student to the certificate program, or as part of the online MAEd in Curriculum & Instruction.
