Description
Return to: Academic Programs This program fulfills requirements for the New York State Initial Certificate in Students with Disabilities (All Grades) and Childhood Education (Grades 1-6). Students who complete this program option are eligible for certifications to (1) teach students with disabilities in all grades, and (2) teach general education elementary school students. Each block of courses has related practicum requirements. Placement for practica is facilitated by the Ella Cline Shear School of Education faculty and staff. “Commissioner’s Regulations CR 52.21, General Requirements (ii)(a) require all teacher candidates to study “a language other than English.” By meeting Geneseo’s requirement for such language study, all teacher candidates meet the NY certification requirement.” Candidates must check with their Block professors to be sure all information needed for field experience is submitted prior to the end of the preceding semester. Candidates are responsible for their own transportation for all field experiences and student teaching Program Learning Outcomes, Teaching Students with Disabilities (All Grades) and Childhood (Grades 1-6) (CEC) Candidates understand how exceptionalities may interact with development and learning and use this knowledge to provide meaningful and challenging learning experiences for individuals with exceptionalities. Candidates create safe, inclusive, culturally responsive learning environments so that individuals with exceptionalities become active and effective learners and develop emotional well being, positive social interactions, and self-determination. Candidates use knowledge of general and specialized curricula to individualize learning for individuals with exceptionalities. Candidates use multiple methods of assessment and data sources in making educational decisions. Candidates select, adapt, and use a repertoire of evidence-based instructional strategies to advance learning of individuals with exceptionalities. Candidates use foundational knowledge of the field and their professional ethical principles and practice standards to inform special education practice, to engage in lifelong learning, and to advance the profession. Candidates collaborate with families, other educators, related service providers, individuals with exceptionalities, and personnel from community agencies in culturally responsive ways to address the needs of individuals with exceptionalities across a range of learning experiences. Learning outcomes are aligned with the Council for Exceptional Children’s 2020 Practice Based Professional Preparation Standards for Special Educators (2020 K12 Standards) and Initial Practice-Based Standards for Early Interventionists/Early Childhood Special Educators.
