    Program overview

    What the University of Utah says about their program:
    "If you want to help others grow and learn and be a positive force for change in your community, consider the University of Utah’s undergraduate Special Education Teacher Preparation program. This major provides broad preparation across many academic disciplines and direct professional training for teaching young children and students with disabilities. The program's curriculum consists of a Teacher Education Core that addresses a variety of topics, such as early childhood education, secondary classroom education, assessment and instruction principles, language development, legal and policy foundations, reading methods, writing instruction, math instruction, and classroom technology integration. In the final year of their program, students will complete courses and an assigned student teaching practicum relevant to one of the five emphases within Special Education. Upon successful completion of the program, and the submission of an application for licensure, including passing the Foundation of Reading for Utah and the Praxis Performance Assessment for Teachers (PPAT) licensing exams, students will be recommended to the Utah State Board of Education to receive their Utah Professional Teaching License."
