The master s programs emphasize consultative, supervisory, and multidisciplinary skills intended for students who wish to assume innovative leadership roles in public or private schools and community settings. Students complete an exit portfolio demonstrating competencies as their culminating experience for the master s degree. Teachers currently certified in special education are awarded the MEd degree. Generally, students interested in this option do not teach in public schools but work with individuals with special needs in other settings. All students take a core of courses designed to develop competencies in five broad areas instruction, assessment, collaboration, inquiry, and ethics.
Students also enroll in courses specific to the area of expertise that they wish to develop.
After admission to the program, a program of study is developed which incorporates both core requirements and courses specific to their area of interest. This is an official FGCU Web page. 10501 FGCU Blvd.
