获得教育专家(EDSP)证书
在加州, 学习成为一名特殊教育教师的人将努力获得教育专家(EDSP)证书. This credential allows you to teach a variety of subjects to students K-22. Concordia students earn the Mild to Moderate Support Needs credential, 包括特殊学习障碍吗, 轻度至中度智力残疾, 其他健康损害, 严重情绪障碍, and authorizes service in grades K–12 and in classes organized primarily for adults through age 22. Information about this credential can be found on the CTC的网站.
证书课程 可以作为本科学位的一部分吗, meaning you can finish your bachelor’s degree and credential at the same time. Some universities have this as a “blended” program. 我们认为这是明智的. It will take 4-5 years, depending on the pace you set for becoming a teacher.
肯考迪娅的 自由研究 major is part of California's Elementary Subject Matter Preparation (ESM) program. Therefore, 康考迪亚大学本专业修读多科目证书的学生不需要参加加州科目考试(CSET).
