The M.Ed. in Inclusive Education: Individualized General Curriculum uses a cross-categorical model that reflects the needs of teachers serving students with disabilities in P-12 educational settings. The program prepares teachers to meet the educational needs of students eligible for categorical services within an inclusive education classroom. Course work emphasizes the similarities and highlights the differences among students with disabilities and includes a life-span perspective addressing issues from preschool through transition to postsecondary or employment. The course sequence includes courses that link theory and practice through field experience and culminates with a supervised internship.

This program prepares professional teacher leaders with advanced knowledge, skills and understanding of:

• Characteristics and needs of students with disabilities;
• Research-based practices in the instruction and assessment of students with disabilities;
• Preschool through adolescent service delivery models
• Collaborative practices and structures to enhance education of students with disabilities;
• Positive behavior support for students; and
• Current issues and trends in the field.
