Special Education
Special Education at 糖心传媒 College prepares future teachers to meet the needs of P鈥�12 students with learning disabilities (LD) and emotional impairments (EI).
In four years, students can earn a certificate in the following areas:
- A certificate in elementary education (PreK鈥�6) and a P鈥�12 endorsement in learning
disabilities and/or emotional impairments.
OR - A certificate in a secondary education (5鈥�12) content area and a P鈥�12 endorsement in learning disabilities or emotional impairments.
Each pathway allows you to teach in a special education or a general education classroom.
Four-Year Plans
Before admission to the Education Department, each student meets with a special education advisor to create a 4-year plan that includes all required Anchor Plan and major/minor requirements. During this meeting, students will be asked, "Who do you want to teach?" Your answer will determine which plan is created.
*You do have the ability to select both emotional impairments and learning disabilities, but it is dependent on your major selection; not all majors have the time availability to fit both minors in.
