Preparing to teach all children...

This program prepares teachers to teach all children, particularly in urban contexts. The course of study emphasizes curriculum development for heterogeneous classrooms, critical multiculturalism, teaching for equity and social justice, and an inquiry approach to teaching and learning. Because the program prepares teachers for inclusive classrooms, it is possible to add on an additional 12 points in Critical Special Education and be recommended for the additional certification: Teaching Students with Disabilities. (See next section for details)

 

Degrees Offered:

ELEMENTARY INCLUSIVE EDUCATION-INITIAL CERTIFICATION (ELEM-INIT)
Master of Arts (M.A.)

Elementary Inclusive Education and Teaching students with Disabilities- INITIAL DUAL Certification (ELEM-DUAL)
Master of Arts (M.A.)

What our students are saying

"I am beginning to think that one way in which I can be more helpful in creating a classroom environment where no one is excluded is simply by getting to know the strengths, passions, and unique backgrounds of each of the students. (As I write that I realize it sounds like a very tall order.) I decided to use fifteen minutes that the students are allotted for snacktime as an opportunity to discover things about my students."
