Academic Accelerator - Bachelor of Science - Education - Intervention Specialist (Special Education)

Program Description

• The right amount of support when you need it.
• A seat in credit-bearing courses, so you can earn a full freshman year’s worth of credits while taking courses tailored to your needs as an international student. This will help you achieve your academic and career goals.
• English-language instruction designed around your social and academic needs.
• Integrated and cohorted courses, so you’ll be in some classes with U.S. students and others with your designated UDayton Global cohort.

The Intervention Specialist Education program prepares you to be a highly qualified teacher with an understanding of the learner at various ages and stages of development, and from various cultures, socioeconomic levels, ethnic groups and ranges of abilities. You will learn how family diversity (i.e. economic, linguistic, cultural and ethnic lines) impacts the learner, as well as understand how disabilities affect each learner.

As an intervention specialist major, you'll learn and teach in a variety of classrooms, community settings and job sites. These field and clinical experiences provide you with firsthand knowledge of the typical and divergent learner. Through clinical activities, field experiences and student teaching, you'll have multiple opportunities to plan for groups and individual students.
