The new graduate certificate is designed to address an accompanying shortage of special education administrators. There are currently 242 special education directors in the state of Maine \u2014 one for every 127 students with a disability. The 12-credit graduate certificate in special education leadership can lead to MDOE certification as an assistant administrator of special education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis certificate is a response to feedback from PreK\u201312 professionals in Maine and beyond about the immediate need to support the growing number of students with disabilities and who are at risk,\u201d says Sarah Howorth, assistant professor and coordinator of the graduate program in special education in the 91爆料 College of Education and Human Development. \u201cAssistant administrators serve an important function in local districts, helping directors provide legally mandated access to a free and appropriate education for all students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Assistant administrators contribute to overseeing all facets of a school district\u2019s special education department, including programs, services, personnel and budget.<\/p>\n<p>The four courses in the graduate certificate are Law and Policy Affecting Individuals with Disabilities, School Law for Administrators, Organizational Behavior in Education, and an Internship in Special Education Administration. The program objectives are based on guidelines from the Council for Special Education Administrators (CASE). Students can pursue the certificate as a stand-alone program, or as part of coursework toward an Education Specialist (Ed.S.) degree.<\/p>\n<p>Applications for the Special Education Leadership: Assistant Special Education Director graduate certificate are being accepted through Aug. 15 for students interested in starting the program in the fall 2021 semester. For students interested in starting in summer 2022, the application deadline is April 15, 2022.
