Program Description:

The Donald and Helen Ross College of Education offers a Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Exceptional Student Education with ESOL endorsement. The intent of this program is to produce graduates who, as teachers, are able to address the needs of this increasingly diverse student population and can provide leadership for innovative programs to coordinate professional activities to better serve these students. By developing these advanced competencies, graduates are able to use critical thinking skills to understand and employ a variety of knowledge bases to deal with contemporary issues, problems and dilemmas in diverse learning environments.Because of the increase in linguistically diverse students in Florida schools, the state has mandated that all classroom teachers serving ESOL students have additional training. Teachers with no prior experience teaching ESOL must take 15 credit hours to obtain an ESOL endorsement. Exceptional Student Education represents a distinct category of certification provided by the State of Florida Department of Education. Certification requires completing 27 credit hours of course work in Exceptional Student Education. Included in this category are students who may be emotionally handicapped, mentally handicapped or learning-disabled.
