| This course of study leads to initial certification for Special Education in one of the following areas: - Early Childhood: Teachers are licensed to teach infants and young children from birth through age 6. Programs may be delivered in the children’s homes or in special or integrated preschool environments.
- Modified: Teachers are licensed to teach students with mild disabilities. Such students have traditionally been served in resource rooms for some part of their education and have spent much of their time in the regular classroom.
- Comprehensive: Teachers are licensed to teach students with moderate, severe, and profound disabilities. Such students have traditionally been served in full-time special classes.
The program includes course work in mental retardation and learning disabilities as well as best practice in methods-based cognitive methodologies. In addition, courses in consultation and collaboration, computer technology, assessment, behavior management, inclusion, and trends and issues in Special Education are offered. The degree program is designed to prepare students to meet competencies for Tennessee licensure. Upon completion of all degree requirements, including student teaching, and all testing (PRAXIS) requirements, students may apply for initial teacher licensure in Tennessee.
