**NEW PROGRAM** *Apply Today* *See Course Schedule link for class dates.*
Viterbo University is pleased to announce that we are now offering a Special
Education Cross-categorical certification program with an emphasis in
either students with specific learning disabilities or students with
cognitive disabilities. As an option, students may choose to
incorporate the 26 credits required for the cross-categorical licensure
program as elective coursework for the Master of Arts in Education
degree. The licenses will include:
Cross-categorical
Special Education (801) with an emphasis in either Learning
Disabilities (811) or Cognitive Disabilities (810); students will choose from either
Middle Childhood – Early Adolescence (MC-EA), Ages 6 through 12-13 (72)
or Early Adolescence – Adolescence (EA-A), Ages 10-21 (73).
The first cohorts will begin Fall 2012. This
program will serve as an add-on license in cross-categorical special
education, with an emphasis in either students with specific learning
disabilities (SLD) or students with cognitive disabilities (CD), for
teachers who are currently licensed to teach in the State of Wisconsin. For
a variety of reasons, we see this license to be beneficial for
educators who may be asked to take on broader teaching responsibilities
within their regular classrooms or for those who may have become
displaced in their initial area of licensure.
Viterbo
University believes that all students who complete the special
education cross-categorical endorsement at Viterbo University will
obtain the following outcomes:
- Develop pedagogical skills and instructional expertise in their area of choice
- Develop communication, collaboration and intervention skills to accomplish their work
- Develop professional dispositions of inquiry, collaboration, problem-solving, advocacy and continuous improvement
- Develop, implement, and interpret accountability and outcome-based systems using assessment data
- Connect theory, practice, and research to inform educational decisions and
- Foster inclusive learning environments that support diverse learners.
