Therefore, we have a good idea of where we are meeting these areas of competencies. Revise the course description of SE434 to meet certification competencies. Require CD325 in the option for Early Childhood. Discussion revolved around these revisions and additions. Special Certification is contingent upon teacher certification.
Students have to have teacher certification in order to get certified for special education.
We would like to move this package with the understanding that the Special Education Sub-Committee will come back to the department with more information about the final steps in implementation. There will be an application process to get into this option just like there is for teacher education candidacy. This will need to be clarified. The Graduate Council met and looked at requirements at various colleges. It has been reaffirmed that the Graduate Studies in Education should have a core.
