Choosing a major
Students seeking an endorsement in special education will major in Special Education with a focus in Elementary Special Education or Secondary Special Education. Your focus will drive the courses you take for certification, 你的第二背书课程, as well as placements during your student teaching. Basic requirements for certification are the same and listed below, but the certification courses vary based on emphasis.

Second endorsement
SPU's Undergraduate Residency Teacher Certification program requires that teacher candidates pursing an endorsement in Special Education also earn a second endorsement in a content area.
Special Education majors will work with the certification advisor to develop a plan of study for earning a second endorsement.
Please make an appointment with the certification advisor as soon as possible to begin working on this plan. 通过电子邮件预约 soe-cert@toymonstertruck.com 或者在前SOE办公室 Peterson Hall 300.
