Inclusive Adolescence Education

It has been said that if you want to make a difference in the world, become a teacher. You can make a difference鈥攊n your life and the lives of future generations鈥攂y enrolling in Fisher鈥檚 inclusive adolescence education program.

The program is deemed 鈥渋nclusive鈥� because, as an undergraduate education candidate, you will work toward dual certification in general education and special education.

The inclusive adolescence education program results in certification in adolescence education (grades 7鈥�12) in the chosen content area, with optional middle-school extension (grades 5鈥�6) and students with disabilities (grades 7鈥�12) generalist. A generalist is certified for employment as a supporting teacher for students with disabilities in content areas other than the candidate鈥檚 major area of study.

Program Overview

The inclusive adolescence education major requires 40-43 credits. In addition, you will complete a second major or concentration in one of the following content areas:

• American Studies
• Biology
• Chemistry
• Earth Science
• English
• History
• Mathematics
• Physics

As an inclusive adolescence education major, you will take additional liberal arts courses that meet the Core requirements. To meet New York state core requirements for the program, you are also required to complete classes in math, science, English, and social studies. Many of the requirements in the Core may be met by courses you complete for your education program studies. Likewise, some of the Core courses (not all) may meet New York state content requirements.

You also will be required to successfully complete a set of courses and clinical experiences relating to pedagogical content in teacher education. At least 50 of the 150 hours of the clinical experiences must focus on the needs of students with disabilities for your dual certification in adolescence education and students with disabilities (7鈥�12) generalist.

This program is accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).
