What is Special about our Special Education Certificate?
Real-World Connections
During the three Special Education courses, students participate in authentic learning experiences in special education settings in local school districts, non-profit agencies, and other professional organizations. HSU education majors interview administrators and teachers, observe special education students in various instructional situations, and critique learning environments that meet the needs of all types of learners. The HSU education majors are exposed to community and professional advocacy groups that provide resources, training, and academic support for parents who have children with disabilities.
