Undergraduate Special Education Certification Program
Elementary Teacher Certification (Special Education Endorsement)
In January 2008, the Michigan State Board of Education approved new Elementary Education standards. The new standards will ensure that teachers are prepared with depth and breadth of content knowledge. Starting Spring 2008, prospective elementary candidates who wish to earn a special education endorsement will need to meet with a special education advisor in the College of Education to plan their course of study. Michigan elementary teacher certification with special education endorsements allows the holder to teach the special education endorsement areas in kindergarten through twelfth grade. It also permits teaching any subject in kindergarten through fifth grade or any subject in kindergarten through eighth grade in self-contained classrooms.
In addition to degree requirements,for students who are currently in the program, special education candidates must complete a teachable major, minor, professional program, and endorsement requirements. Students must complete at least one field placement in a multicultural setting.
Current students are expected to complete all the required courses in general education, elementary education (except Ed 320 and Ed 360), and psychology by the time they begin coursework in the College of Education.
