This Special Education - Teacher Certification MEd program from Arizona State University offers two routes for students to earn a master's degree and Arizona teacher certification:
Traditional certification route --- In this route, students can receive dual Arizona teacher certification in the following teaching certificates: Mild-Moderate Disabilities Special Education, K-12 and Elementary Education, grades 1-8. Students complete an internship each semester during the first two semesters --- one in a special education setting and one in an elementary education setting. In the final semester, students complete an 8-week teaching residency.
Alternative certification route --- This route provides an alternative pathway to Arizona teacher certification in Mild-Moderate Disabilities Special Education, K-12, for full-time teachers on an Alternative Teaching Certificate (or equivalent in other states). To qualify, individuals must secure a full-time teaching position in an approved content and grade level and pass the appropriate content exam.
