endorsement program in Special Education – Adapted Curriculum

The new program parallels our current Special Education – General Curriculum program, with the exception of two courses: EDSE 539 Characteristics of Students Accessing Adapted Curriculum and EDSE 541: Goals and practices for Students Accessing Adapted Curriculum. These courses may be taken as part of the endorsement program or for professional development points.
