All programs of study are aligned to the PDE competencies for that certification in addition to meeting the standards necessary for National Recognition and
NCATE accreditation. Rigorous programs of study for all secondary programs include all the same specialization courses as a major in that subject area. Initial
certification programs include all 4 stages of field and include experiences working with diverse populations in both rural and urban areas. All prospective
general education teachers are required to take at least 2 courses in special education and have at least 60 hours of preparation focused on ELL. All special
education teachers are currently dual majors in Early Childhood, however, Special Education 7-12 programs have been developed and submitted for approval.
These majors will have a rigorous program of study focused on content as well as special education.
In addition to program requirements, students are required to have at least one diverse placement in either field or student teaching, giving them experience
with diverse populations in urban areas. Opportunities such as the Philadelphia Urban Experience allows for cultural immersion for field students in an urban
environment. The University also places field students and student teachers in Professional Development Schools including urban centers such as Pfeiffer
Burleigh K-8, Roosevelt Middle School, and East High School of the School District of the City of Erie, The Charter School of Excellence (Perseus House) in Erie,
and Cambridge Springs Elementary of the rural PENNCREST school district. Tutoring opportunities, reading clinics, Wilderness Quest camp, College for Every
Student visits, and campus visitation days for Roosevelt and Perseus House students, to name a few, are all examples of the types of opportunities available to
Edinboro candidates as they prepare to teach.
Course outlines have been modified to include new developments in education such as the Common Core standards and the new PA teacher evaluation system.
Based on the needs and requests of the school districts, Edinboro created new technology courses to provide students with methods and means for using
instructional technology for teaching and learning. Additionally, students learn theoretical and practical foundations of classroom management as well as the
identification, prevalence, and learning characteristics of students with special needs. Also, as a response to local school district requests, the new Special
Education 7-12 programs have been developed.

Edinboro University requires specific courses providing methods and means for using instructional technology to solve teaching-learning problems. Students
interact with technology including computers, Ipads, and Smartboards to learn the skills necessary to successfully use this technology in the classroom. All
students learn the instructional use and implications of apps, blogs, online videos (e.g. Youtube) and other free resources, video (e.g. IMovie) and music
production (e.g. Garageband), as well as other more standard resources such as Word, Powerpoint, and Publisher. Students are also introduced to content
specific technology such as graphic design programs for Art Education, heart rate monitors for HPE, and computer-interfaced probes for Science Education. In all
cases, students are asked to design content specific lessons using technology to aid in student learning and are asked to ground those lessons in theory and
base those lessons on national and state standards.
Students are introduced to Excel and gradebook programs as a way to organize data, but more importantly as they progress through their program, they are
introduced to the analysis of assessment data for making instructional decisions. As part of their capstone experience, students are asked to complete a prepost-test instructional assessment, and they are asked to use technology to display and analyze the data, culminating in a reflection on how this impacts
teaching and learning.
Students are required to use what technology is available to them throughout their field placements and the use of this technology is assessed by the University
Supervisor. Ipads and laptops are available for student teachers and other technology can be borrowed from Technology and Communications when necessary.

Edinboro University is in complete alignment with the requirements of Chapter 49-2 and requires that all students be prepared to teach students with special
needs as well as students who primary language is not English. Separate courses in Special Education are required. In addition, Special education and ELL topics
and competencies are infused throughout the programs of study but are especially prevalent in Instructional Techniques and Content Literacy/Literacy courses.
Edinboro University provides courses which introduce the candidates to effective teaching strategies for children with special needs, learning disabilities,
emotional/behavior disorders, hearing impairments, visual impairments, physical disabilities, other health impairments, communication disorders, traumatic
brain injury, as well as children who are gifted and/or talented. Coursework also covers the causes, characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, and educational
provisions for children with special needs and includes units on cultural diversity, current legal and educational issues, and students whose other language is
English. Additionally, courses address the identification, prevalence, and learning characteristics of students with exceptionalities. Special emphasis is placed on
classroom accommodations, instructional modifications and adaptations for P-12 inclusion classrooms for the purpose of creating effective learning
environments for all students. Legal mandates and requirements are addressed as well as special considerations of high stakes testing and assessments.
Furthermore, students examine the process of developing Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) for exceptional students, and receive supervised practice in
completing state IEP forms. Students learn the best practice for collaborating with all members of the IEP team and emphasize the role of the family. Students
learn strategies for encouraging parents’ active participation in designing their children's programs and in monitoring their ongoing school performance.
All students are required to complete the course Multiculturalism in American Schools which focuses a large amount of class time on ELL and includes virtual
observations of ELL classroom situations. Further, all students are required to complete a “diverse” field or student teaching placement. Many of these diverse
placements include experiences with ELL and Special Needs students.

In addition to the course work described above, Edinboro University’s program, approved through the Pennsylvania Department of Education, is nationally
accredited. This national recognition by NCATE and Council for Exceptional Children ensures a rigorous program of study, appropriate content and pedagogical
content knowledge, diverse field experiences, and positive impact on P-12 student learning. The rigors of these accreditations enable Edinboro University to
graduate highly qualified special education teachers. Strategies to teach students with limited English language proficiency is embedded into several courses
and an ELL program has been approved for 2013- 2014. A 7-12 Special Education program has recently been developed and is on course to begin Fall 2014.
