Are There Jobs In Special Ed Other Than Classroom Teaching or School Administration?
Yes. The knowledge you'll gain in a special education M.Ed. program can apply to many different jobs in this growing field. Government agencies and nonprofits recruit M.Ed. graduates for a variety of roles, for example. You could run programs benefiting students and their families, write grants to raise money for local education programs, or concentrate on the big picture when it comes to SPED policy and advocacy.
There are also plenty of opportunities on school campuses and at the district level. You might coordinate services and support for students with disabilities, oversee accessibility in school facilities, or administer behavior or transition planning programs for special ed students.
