Elementary Inclusive Education

A pre-service program that prepares you to teach all children.

A graduate program and a professional course of study, the Elementary Inclusive Education program is designed to prepare teacher candidates to work with all children particularly those from minoritized communities who experience multiple forms of exclusion in schools. It includes rigorous coursework and a clinically rich student teaching field experience. The different tracks within this program may be suitable for those who have no (or minimal) formal preparation or coursework in education and are beginning their study of teaching or those who already have some experience as teachers. The certification track leads to an M.A. degree and New York State teacher certification in Childhood Education and Teaching Students with Disabilities (Grades 1-6). Upon completion of the program, graduates can also apply for teacher certification in states other than New York, and many secure teaching positions elsewhere in the U.S. as well as internationally. NEW!!! We are now offering a non-certification track that allows graduates to take up a variety of positions in schools, locally, nationally and in international contexts.
