Return to: Academic Programs of Study
The program in Special Needs prepares professionals to work with children with moderate disabilities at the PreK–8 and 5–12 levels who participate in integrated or self-contained classrooms. These programs lead to Initial or Professional Licensure in Moderate Disabilities (PreK–8, 5–12).
The Moderate Disabilities programs (PreK–8 and 5–12) are designed in two different tracks: 1) a 21-credit post-baccalaureate program that leads to Initial Licensure and an optional 15 additional credit program to obtain a Master’s degree in Special Needs, and 2) a 36-credit Appropriate Master’s Degree program for a Professional License.
The distinction between the different grade level licensures (i.e., PreK–8 and 5–12) lies in:
• The entrance requirements (e.g., prior course work);
• The number of clock hours and the grade level for the practicum experience (300 hours for PreK–8 and 150 hours for 5–12); and
• Assignments within courses that address the grade level at which the student is pursuing licensure.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the program students will:
• Demonstrate skill in planning curriculum and instruction, delivering effective instruction, managing classroom climate, promoting equity and meeting professional standards.
• Demonstrate ability to collect, analyze, synthesize, and apply measurement data.
• Demonstrate knowledge of and approach to subject matter.
• Demonstrate knowledge of typical child development and exceptionalities
