The 特殊教育及训练 Program prepares students to provide vocational education to adults with disabilities in community-based environments.
Instructional Service Agreements require on-site instructors who meet the minimum state qualifications for providing vocational instructor to adults with disabilities. In order to meet the minimum qualifications a staff member working in the community-based agency must either hold a degree or a Certificate of Training and 2 years of experience working with adults with disabilities and 4 years of occupational experience. Many agency staff meet the years of experience but not the degree or certificate qualification. This program is the first in the state to satisfy the certificate requirement. Students learn about the regulations concerning Special Education and adults with disabilities, 机构规定, strategies for teaching students with disabilities, and participate in a practicum to apply their skills.
学生于2020年春季入学. They hadn't been assessed because the assessment usually occurs after Spring break. Immediately following Spring break students could no longer attend face-to-face classes because of the COVID 19 closure. Instruction immediately changed modalities to online instruction. Some students were not prepared for the change. Technology was loaned out through the Special Programs Department.
Due to the COVID closure and change in instructional delivery, students were not assessed. Classes are not due to begin again until face-to-face instruction is restored.
The SPED Program was offered to train Instructional Service Agreement 教练s to teach Special Education students. Spring 2020 the first two classes were offered. Students have not been able to complete their certificates due to the COVID closure.
The SPED Program supports the strategic direction and priorities through offering classes that train agency staff to become ISA 教练s to work with individuals with disabilities. The Special Programs Department also engages in curriculum development, collaboration with agencies on instructional strategies and trainings, and supports student achievement through consulting and encouraging students to take more calsses to become Special Education teachers.
This program is new and has not had a program review.
