In our Integrated Elementary and Special Education Program, you can earn two certifications in four years, which opens doors to more career options. You’ll be eligible for certification in elementary education (grades 1-6) and special education (grades K-12).
Our class sizes are small, and students receive plenty of individual mentoring from our experienced faculty, who are very well connected with area schools. With an extensive network of partner schools, you’ll apply skills learned in the classroom to real-world settings and gain the expertise to excel in your career.
The integrated elementary and special education program is a professional teacher preparation program that will give you an in-depth understanding of exceptionalities and knowledge of the developmental, academic, and social needs of elementary school-age children.
You’ll learn through a planned sequence of coursework, independent study, field observations, student teaching, conferences, lectures, and other educational experiences.
Upon successful completion of course work and specified Praxis II state examinations and the recommendation of the University, students are eligible for Connecticut teacher certification in special education (grades K-12) and elementary education (grades 1-6).
Career Outlook
Employment of special education teachers is projected to grow 8 percent from 2016 to 2026, about as fast as the average for all occupations according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. Demand for special education services and teachers should rise as children with disabilities are increasingly being identified earlier and enrolled in special education programs.
