Suzanne Beike: There's a lot of field experience.
It's really set up for people to do a lot of hand's on
either in their own classroom or in a classroom at a school.
We want a tiered approach to it in that you can have a teaching license
or you can have a bachelor's degree with some kind of experience in the field.
Like you might be a parent educator. You might have
spent some time working with students with special needs somewhere else in the community.
And the third possibility for applying is that you can have an undergraduate degree in some other area.
And we're really individualizing everybody's program based on their education and their experience
so that they get all of the things that we have identified and that have been identified
by the Council of Exceptional Children, so that when they go out in
the field they'll have everything they need to be able to start
a new career if that's what they are looking at.
We're calling it a high touch program in that we are capping our classes.
We're capping our method classes at fifteen...between fifteen to twenty people because
we want to be able to have that contact with our students.
