New Master’s in Special Education to begin in 2008

BELFAST. Interested in a program that will lead to a master’s degree and state certification as Teacher of Students with Mild/Moderate Disabilities (K-8 or 7-12)? You can also select up to 6 credits of electives for an emphasis in either the “Students at Risk” or the “Response to Intervention” concentration.

The University of Maine Hutchinson Center in Belfast is offering a brand new graduate program that is designed for those who have a background in elementary or secondary education or have experience working with students with disabilities and also people interested in entering the teaching profession. The program will begin in the Fall of 2008 and will be delivered by a combination of live and online classes. Being part of a cohort program offers the best of group dynamics: collegiality, mutual support, rich discussions, new insights, reflective, critical thinking, networking, as well as courses and a program of study sequenced with the student in mind and a program coordinator working with you every step of the way.

For more information, please contact the Hutchinson Center at 338-8000, or toll-free at 800-753-9044. You can also contact the program coordinator, Marcia Davidson, Ph.D. at 581-2472 or email: Marcia.Davidson@umit.maine.edu
