Our faculty express their commitment to improving educational achievement and equity through research, professional development, and collaborations with community partners.<br><br>The focus of our Department's specialization in Special Education is on the intersectionality of disability, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and other aspects of students socially determined identities as learners. Within this framework, our faculty engage in research relating to a wide range of issues, including interventions for students who struggle in reading or mathematics, disproportionality in the identification of students for special education services, secondary transition, teacher preparation, school-family collaborations, and children's language development in inclusive preschool classrooms.<br><br>Our aim is to prepare graduates to pursue educational careers that contribute to and/or are informed by empirical research.
