Special Education for Administrators prepares school and board system leaders to understand, address and support the needs of exceptional learners, with particular emphasis on anti-oppression, equity, and inclusion. While examining local, provincial, and federal policy, candidates will build a comprehensive understanding of the needs of exceptional learners so that they can foster an empowering special education program and system. A strong connection between the school-level special education program and board-level policy is essential for ensuring the success of all students, and in particular exceptional learners.
Registration for each semester opens six to eight weeks prior to the registration deadline.
