Introduction

Elementary/Special Education (B.A.) is a Bachelor program taught at Hood College, USA. Intake: Fall, Spring. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (4 years) options.

The Elementary/Special Education (B.A.) at Hood College is designed to prepare and certify teachers for dual certification in elementary and special education. Successful completion leads to Maryland initial teaching certification in elementary (grades 1-6) and special education (grades 1-8). Students are prepared to teach children with and without disabilities in regular and inclusion classrooms.

The major includes field experiences and is based conceptually on InTASC, Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), and Association for Children's Education International (ACEI) standards, as well as on the Maryland State Department of Education’s “Redesign of Teacher Education.” A yearlong internship during the final two semesters places students in two settings: one in an elementary classroom and one in a special education program.

The program advances through Prerequisites, Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III with a checkpoint assessment at each step.
