Introduction
Every student deserves a teacher who is committed to helping them overcome challenges to learn and succeed. For students with disabilities, the need for an instructor familiar with their specific needs is even greater. At McKendree, we believe you can be that special education teacher. Our Master of Arts in Education program in Special Education prepares you for a career working with students with special needs in elementary, middle, and secondary schools. McKendree’s experienced faculty and convenient class formats enable you to earn your master’s degree in education in a timely manner, blending field practical and coursework for a one-of-a-kind learning experience. You will explore topics that will enhance your professional competence and give you new perspectives on issues affecting students with special needs from ages K to 21.
You will also gain important hands-on training through a practicum experience with a qualified Special Education teacher currently in the field. Upon successful completion of the program and state examination requirements, you will be eligible for entitlement of Learning Behavior Specialist I (LBS I) on your Illinois Professional Educator License.
