在这里学什么？

A master’s degree (M.Ed.) in special education from the University of Maine provides graduates with an understanding of how to apply current evidence-based practices in PreK-12 classrooms for children with special needs. Understanding a child’s needs is essential to ensure that he or she receives the proper attention, assistance and intervention to succeed in school. Our graduates apply best practices to address the needs of students in inclusive, general-education learning environments.

Careers in special education To be successful in the special education programs, graduate students must have access to children with disabilities or be working as special education teachers to fulfill program requirements. A graduate degree in special education can lead to opportunities for career advancement, including positions as lead teachers, coaches and special education directors.

Program delivery All of the M.Ed. degrees in special education at the University of Maine require at least 36 credit hours, and all can be completed online. Students can choose one of four concentrations or do an individually designed program in consultation with a faculty advisor. Those seeking an Ed.S. will complete an individually designed program of study. The master’s concentrations are (Click the links for more information on our entirely online M.Ed. programs):

• Early Intervention: Leads to state certification as a Teacher of Children with Disabilities (birth to age five). This program is designed to prepare students in the fundamentals of professional practice in early intervention for inclusive environments, provide students with advanced content in a variety of research areas (e.g., early childhood, early childhood special education, family relationships, collaborative consultation), and support students in practicum experiences with high needs children birth to age five and their families. To ensure program success, potential students should be currently working or volunteering with young children, birth to age five, and their families.
• High incidence: Leads to state certification as a Teacher of Students with Disabilities (K-8 or 7-12). The program prepares master’s level special educators to serve students in the areas of reading, math, writing and challenging behavior. All courses require fieldwork, so students must be working or volunteering in K-12 schools.
• Low incidence: Leads to state certification as a Teacher of Students with Severe Disabilities (K-8 or 7-12). This program prepares master’s level special educators to serve students with autism spectrum disorder, significant intellectual disabilities, and students with multiple disabilities. All courses require fieldwork, so students must be working or volunteering in K-12 schools.
