BS Early Childhood Special Education

This program supports the departmental concept of “Communities of Practice Investigating Learning and Teaching.” The standards and best practices of the Council of Exceptional Children (CEC) and its various divisions are embedded in the competencies of this program of study. Participants will build knowledge in subject matter, instructional practices, and the learning/teaching process. Participants will integrate current research into effective practices and develop the leadership capacities necessary to implement effective educational practices in local settings. When participants complete the program, they continue to take responsibility to expand their own learning and leadership capacity.
