特殊教育教育学士学位-P-12 Plus内容认可

特殊教育和教育领导力部很荣幸为有兴趣成为中学和高中教师的学生提供双重认可计划。参加此独特计划的毕业生将获得教学证书，特殊教育认可（学龄前至21年）以及另一个合格的中学水平内容领域的认可。我们的大多数毕业生都获得了英语，数学或自然科学的二级内容认可，但还有其他选择。由于所有孩子的教育都是值得的，因此我们提供一系列精心安排的课程，以平衡内容知识与在各种环境中应用知识和发展技能的众多机会。鉴于教学是一项苛刻的职业，我们致力于为学生提供有效评估和教授学术技能以及以积极和尊重的方式有效管理课堂环境所需的技能。
There are two definitions of Special Education. One is the education of students with disabilities. The other is the application of exceptional teaching. We in the Special Education Program at Western Washington University believe very strongly in the second definition. We think that it is our mission to prepare exceptional teachers and, while students who have disabilities often require the services of such teachers, we also believe that there are many other students who can benefit from high quality instruction. We also think that there is much satisfaction to be gained from the acquisition of the highest levels of teaching skill and that the teachers trained in our program benefit professionally and personally from the acquisition of these skills. That is why the word ''Special'' in our title is a source of pride to us and to our graduates.<br>This dual endorsement program offered through the Department of Special Education and Education Leadership prepares aspiring special education teachers to work with students with disabilities from Preschool through age 21 as well as work as a general education teacher in a regular elementary classroom.
