Return to: Programs by Degree
The program prepares candidates to teach students with mild/moderate disabilities in self-contained special education and general education classrooms. The program specifically prepares candidates for the diversity of languages and cultures often encountered in California’s public school classrooms. The program prepares candidates to address the needs of students who speak English as a native language and/or as a second language in the elementary or secondary school setting. An underlying principle of the program is the belief that all children (regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, ability or economic status) are capable of learning and educators can make a difference in their lives. Emphasis is placed on the K-22 student actively engaged in his/her learning.
Careers
The Education Specialist Program prepares candidates to complete the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) standards for the preparation of teachers of children with mild and moderate disabilities from kindergarten to grade 12.
