The Bachelor of Arts in Education program specializing in special education and elementary education equips future educators to support diverse learners in inclusive environments.
With many students experiencing mild to moderate learning and behavioral challenges thriving in mainstream classrooms, this program teaches research-backed instructional methods for core subjects like literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies. Participants master specialized strategies for students with disabilities and learn to implement educational technologies that enhance access to standard curricula.
This degree incorporates comprehensive field experiences to ready graduates for immediate classroom success. Before undertaking a full-time teaching residency, students complete supervised internships. Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College offers a unique teacher preparation model featuring mentored field placements where candidates work alongside experienced educators and faculty. These practical components develop collaborative teaching skills to meet both academic and social-emotional learning needs.
Upon completion, graduates qualify for Arizona teaching certifications in K-12 Mild/Moderate Special Education and K-8 Elementary Education, plus a Structured English Immersion endorsement (preK-12) through the Arizona Department of Education. Public school teaching positions require passing either the National Evaluation Series or Arizona Educator Proficiency Assessments for professional and subject-area certification.
