Overview
You’ll study the role of the family, community and social policy in early development and intervention, and learn how to take a noncategorical approach to assessment and educational planning. Your studies will culminate with a one-year field-based internship in an inclusive education setting.
The Master of Early Childhood Education - Special Needs program from University of New Hampshire is an advanced course of study for teachers, administrators and early childhood practitioners who wish to improve their professional competence and broaden their career opportunities in the area of special needs. You may complete electives to add teacher certification and, with additional targeted coursework, be recommended for teacher licensure as an Early Childhood Special Educator.
Dual certification in early childhood education and early childhood special education is also available. The curriculum content of the program is keyed to National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) guidelines for advanced graduate programs, along with New Hampshire State Teacher Certification standards.
