Overview

This degree in Special Education from Elizabethtown College allows students the advantages of a unique and practical curricular focus in curriculum and instruction, supported by a constructivist course sequence which promotes individualized assessments, application to current classroom practice, and applied research relevant to grade bands across the PK-12 continuum.

Overview

Finally, the degree promotes the connection of theory into practice. You’ll not only learn advanced curriculum and peace theories, but develop tangible applications that you can implement immediately to form a progressive classroom.

Teacher candidates at Elizabethtown have the option of gaining certification in special education in two distinct pathways – a four year dual certification program with PK-4 certification or a +1 master’s program.

Candidates in the program will be exposed to opportunities for more advanced curricular study, more time and variety in the field (urban, suburban, rural, learning support, emotional support, inclusive, resource, and self-contained classrooms), enhanced quality of practice in the field, two full semesters of student teaching, and research and reflection about pedagogical best practices through seminar coursework.
