Overview

Our program trains students to approach the field of elementary-level education with an appreciation of individual differences and an understanding of ways to meet those differences.

Vision

Throughout this program, elementary/special education majors develop an understanding of effective elementary curriculum and pedagogy, as well as knowledge of individual differences and strategies to differentiate instruction and implement specialized supports to meet students’ academic and behavioral needs.
