Bachelor of Arts or Science - Special Education - Learning Disabilities

The Special Education endorsement is a K-12 teaching major which is completed with an elementary or secondary education major.

As an elementary or secondary teacher candidate seeking a special education endorsement, students will have at least three special education classroom experiences prior to student teaching. These build sequentially, based on program levels, allowing students to develop and refine their professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions as they progress through the program and prepare for student teaching. Students will usually have their first experience in the first year. The student teaching term is 14 weeks long: 8 weeks in a classroom setting (resource room) with a Learning Disabilities endorsed teacher and 6 weeks in cross-categorical rooms.
