Overview

The Teaching Special Education (Grades K-12) Certification Preparation program design at Lindenwood University reflects the philosophy of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, with an emphasis on educating the whole child through inclusive practices and effective collaboration.

Our program integrates research-based best practices, one of which is co-teaching. Our teacher candidates work with PK-12 students in schools but also in summer camps and after school tutoring. In a survey administered by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, over 82% of Lindenwood alumni in public school teaching jobs reported they were well prepared or very well prepared in their first year.

Career

Each state issues its own teaching certificates based on its own requirements. Upon passing the state-mandated exit assessment and successfully completing the planned degree program, each Lindenwood University College of Education and Human Services student applies for certification to teach in Missouri.
