Focused study to work with children in pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and grades 1-4 across subject areas (ages 3-9) within the competencies listed previously as well as working with students with disabilities in pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and grades 1-8 (ages 3-14). The special education competencies emphasize the Response to Intervention process, working with students at risk for and with/without disabilities, progress monitoring techniques, research-based instructional practices and interventions. This certification option within the BS in Elementary Education enables teachers to work with children in pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and grades 1 through 4 (ages 3-9) across subject areas, with the addition of being specialized to work with students at risk for disabilities or with disabilities. As with the Elementary PK-4 certification, the program covers required competencies such as child development, language development, and early literacy and math foundations for preschool years, early intervention, and integration of the arts for the developing child, and family and community partnerships. Improvements in the diagnosis of learning disabilities at earlier ages have resulted in an increase in the number of students requiring special education. This program is designed to provide the information necessary to: understand the complexities of the disabled learner's needs; modify a curriculum appropriately; provide remedial instruction; use technology to address the learner's needs/progress; manage instruction for students with special needs in the inclusive classroom; as well as additional approaches to assessment and special education teaching techniques.
