This specialized teacher certification program is designed for educators who currently hold general education certification (CEAS or Standard Certification) in a specific content area and seek to add special education credentials (Teacher of Students with Disabilities) while earning their master's degree. The curriculum focuses on inclusive teaching practices.
Important: New Jersey requires all special education instructors to maintain dual certification in both general education (P-3, K-6, or Content Area) and special education (Teacher of Students with Disabilities).
Candidates without general education certification or those holding P-3/K-6 credentials can pursue special education certification through alternative programs.
