This 36-credit program in Early Childhood Special Education is designed for individuals who currently hold provisional or initial New York State certification in general education at the Early Childhood level. The program provides teachers and prospective teachers with the depth of preparation they need to work with children who have disabilities in general, inclusive, and special education settings. If this is your second master's degree, you will earn the advanced Master of Education (Ed. M.) degree.
You will learn to differentiate learning experiences for a wide range of young learners, including children with specific disabilities. Through studying the ongoing cycle of observation, assessment and instructional planning, you will be able to help young children realize their full functional and educational potential.
You will examine the relationships among culture, language and learning in families, communities, and educational program settings. Practical experiences will help you learn how to collaborate with families, other teachers and professionals in your work. You will discover ways to recognize and nurture individual learning styles and build home/school connections.
