Department of Special Education
The Department of Special Education is a vibrant department of dedicated faculty members with a wealth of educational experiences. Our goal is to prepare exemplary teachers, innovative school leaders and educational researchers.
Today’s classrooms are diverse and are filled with students from a wide range of backgrounds, including different ethnicities, cultures, learning abilities, and socioeconomic levels. The special education department offers programs designed to develop and refine competencies in professional educators to meet the demands of teaching students with a wide range of needs in a variety of school environments, including public, private, urban, and suburban.
I loved accommodating instruction to meet the needs of all students in the classroom. During my four years at Saint Joseph’s, I had a field placement every semester where I was involved in elementary classrooms and special education settings for various grade levels at different types of schools near campus.”
