Overview

Objectives

Whether you are a licensed educator seeking your master's degree or looking to start a career by becoming a licensed teacher in education, the MEd Teaching Special Education program at Regis College is the right choice for you.

During this accelerated one-year program, you will learn the skills needed to develop innovative methods and sound educational practices to create challenging and engaging classrooms for students of all abilities.

Key Aspects of The Program

Field Placements and Practicums: You will be exposed to three different classrooms during the program, two field placement observations that total approximately 20 hours each, as well as a practicum (student teaching) placement that is 300 hours if you are not yet a teacher, and 150 hours if you are a teacher. The placements will include both special education and inclusion classrooms. Recent field experience placements include local public schools in Wayland, Boston, Weston, Framingham, and Waltham.
Curriculum: The curriculum consists of 30 credits, or 10 classes, inclusive of student teaching. It includes a diverse range of teaching techniques that will enable you to tailor your approach to individual students. You can complete the program in one year full-time or in 16 months part-time. Additionally, the program provides you with an Endorsement in Sheltered English Immersion (SEI), a requirement to teach in all types of classrooms in Massachusetts.
MTELs: The coursework will prepare you for the Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure required in order to teach K-12 students with moderate disabilities. This is the same group of tests that are required to teach Pre-K to 8. There are additional subject matter specific MTELS required for academic teachers at the middle and high school levels. The tests are outlined here.
Format: All of the courses are offered in an eight-week format, which enables you to focus on just one or two topic areas at a time. Four out of the ten courses offered are fully-online. The remaining are campus based and are offered in the evenings with sessions once or twice per week.
