Educational Specialists Department

The Education Specialists Department houses certification programs leading to the Reading Specialist, K-12, Special Education PreK-8, and English as a Second Language certificates.

All three programs include coursework focused on deep content knowledge, pedagogies, assessment protocols, and curricular frameworks needed to serve children and youth in a variety of educational settings.

Coursework includes lecture, discussion of key theory and research, reflection-on-action, case studies, collaborative reviews of practice, and fieldwork in classrooms and schools.
