About the Program
This blended licensure program allows you to apply for four teaching licenses – K-12 Special Education Mild to Moderate Intervention, K-12 Special Education Moderate to Intensive Intervention, Primary Education PK-5, and K-12 TESOL Endorsement – in four years. This makes you more versatile and marketable and provides coursework that develops your skills to reach all learners. This blended licensure program includes a continuum of classroom experiences supported by both general education and special education teachers in area public schools. We utilize a cohort-based approach to teaching methods and pedagogy, with courses on teaching reading, language arts, science, mathematics, and social studies, with universally designed practices that help you learn to teach a wide diversity of 黑料社区s. This program has a built-in pathway for 黑料社区s interested in also obtaining a TESOL endorsement to teach 黑料社区s who are English Language Learners.
