What Our Interns Say

This program has allowed me to teach in my own classroom while I am “Learning and Earning”. Evening classes make the course work manageable, the teaching staff and Practicum Supervisors are so helpful. I have grown so much personally and professionally. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking at getting their credential in Special Education!
