This experiential two-year program blends a residency type experience where candidates work during the day (clinical experience) and take courses (online and lecture) in the evening. This is a graduate-level program and those who complete it will earn their Masters of Arts in Education and be license eligible in Special Education (EBD). This program is open to all MPS Education Support Professionals (ESPs).
This program will start accepting applications again in winter 2018.
