Summaty of Proposed Action:
This proposal requests to modify the current 5-yearEDSP BS/MEd Combined Program that currently leads to Early Childhood
(EC), Elementary/Middle (EL/MD), and Secondary/Middle (S/M) special education certification to create a 4-year EDSP BS
program leading to only Elementary/Middle (EL/MD) special education certification. This request requires changes to the
existing BS/MEd program course sequence, title changes for six (6) existing courses, reducing the number of required,
supervised semester long field placements from four to two, and dropping 15 credits of elective coursework. The proposed
EDSP BS program will address the same Student Learning Outcomes as the BS/MEd program, which are defined by the
following:
•
Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) Professional Special Education Initial Teacher Standards (2012)
•
Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) Institutional Performance Criteria based on The Redesign of
Teacher Education (2010)
•
Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP, formerly NCATE)
•

Proposal for Modification to the Special Education BS/MEd Combined Program
Special Education Program
Department of Counseling, Higher Education, and Special Education
College of Education
Summary of Proposed Action:
This proposal requests to modify the current 5-year EDSP BS/MEd Combined Program that
currently leads to Early Childhood (EC), Elementary/Middle (EL/MD), and Secondary/Middle
(S/M) special education certification to create a 4-year EDSP BS program leading to only
Elementary/Middle (EL/MD) special education certification. This request requires changes to
the existing BS/MEd program course sequence, title changes for six (6) existing courses,
reducing the number of required, supervised semester long field placements from four to two,
and dropping 15 credits of elective coursework. The proposed EDSP BS program will address
the same Student Learning Outcomes as the BS/MEd program, which are defined by the
following:
•
•
•
•
•
Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) Professional Special Education Initial Teacher
Standards (2012)
Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) Institutional Performance Criteria
based on The Redesign of Teacher Education (2010)
Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP, formerly NCATE)
Maryland Teacher Technology Standards (MTTS)
MSDE Common Core State Standards (CCSS)
Please note the Special Education Program does have Master’s of Education (MEd) certification
programs (36 - 42 hours) (refer to Appendix D 1-6) in early childhood (EC), elementary (EL), or
secondary/middle (S/M) in which graduate applicants can apply who have a BS degree in any
field. These certification graduate programs are separate programs from the BS/MEd Combined
Program and three of these programs (Appendix D 1-3) can be completed in one year. The
Special Education Program also has a Master’s of Education Specialty Program (30 hours) taken
by graduate students who are already certified and wish to focus on a special education area of
interest (e.g., inclusive education, reading disabilities, severe disabilities). Therefore, any teacher
candidate graduating from the EDSP BS program can pursue a Master’s of Education after
graduation and complete the MEd program in one year.
Rationale for Program Change
The following four reasons provide the rationale for the request to modify the Combined
BS/MEd 5 year program to a BS ONLY (4 year) program focusing on the certification areas of
elementary/middle (Grades 1-8) and severe disabilities:
1. In the current Combined BS/MEd program, approximately 10% of the EDSP teacher
candidates per year terminate the combined program after they complete the BS degree due to
financial reasons and do not complete the MEd degree. As a result, they are not eligible for
Maryland State Department of Education certification in special education. Since special
education teachers are a critical need shortage in the state of Maryland, every effort is needed to
1
prepare competent special educators to meet the shortage. Furthermore, the EDSP faculty feel
that the number of students who enter the BS ONLY program will increase (because of lower
financial costs) and help to meet the national special education teacher shortage areas since they
will be eligible for certification after the BS degree and will not have to enroll in a 5th year of
coursework and field placements.
2. The EDSP BS ONLY teacher education program will reduce field experiences from four (4)
supervised, semester long field placements (Preinternship I, Preinternship II, Internship I, and
Internship II) to two (2) supervised, semester long field placements (Internship I and Internship
II). This will reduce costs to our program, department, and college. Current supervised, semester
long preinternship placements (3-½ days/week for 14 weeks per semester) will be replaced with
shorter, unsupervised, content focused field experiences (e.g., 1-½ day per week for 6 weeks per
semester). No other teacher education program (e.g., Elementary Education, Secondary
Education) in the College of Education has supervised, semester long preinternship placements
so this change will be consistent with other teacher education programs. In addition, other
special education certification programs in the state of Maryland can be completed in 4 years, so
the proposed change will make the UMD’s program more competitive.
3. In 2013, a decision was made to blend the EDSP Early Childhood Special Education (ECSP)
Program with the HDQM Early Childhood (EC) Program to create a cross department, combined
Early Childhood/Early Childhood Special Education (EC/ECSE) BS program that results in
eligibility for dual certification (ECE and ECSE) for undergraduate teacher candidates interested
in studying early childhood education. Thus, there is no longer a need for having an Early
Childhood Special Education stand-alone program in EDSP.
4. Within the last 5 years, changes in service delivery in local school districts have made it
increasingly necessary for students interested in secondary special education certification to have
an academic content area (e.g., math, science, social studies, English) to teach in a Maryland
public school system. Very few current students in our Combined BS/MEd program have taken
the necessary coursework to pass the state required examinations (PRAXIS II) in an academic
content area. Therefore, we wish to drop the secondary age base certification from the EDSP BS
ONLY program. However, students can apply to our Master’s Certification Graduate Program
in Secondary Special Education (refer to Appendices D3 and D6) if they have passed a PRAXIS
II content area examination to be eligible for Maryland State Department of Education
Secondary Special Education.
Current and Revised Program Sequences
The current Special Education 5 Year Combined BS/MEd Program was approved in 2002 and
teacher candidates select a special education certification area in early childhood (EC),
elementary (EL), or secondary/middle (S/M) (see Appendices A, B, and C for current BS/MEd
program sequences). Currently, all Combined BS/MEd Program graduates are eligible to receive
certification in one generic certification area (EC, EL, or S/M Special Education) and in severe
disabilities (refer to Table 1).
