Through a combination of classroom and field-based learning, GGC's Special Education program gives future educators an opportunity to acquire the necessary assessment, instructional and consultation skills for working effectively with culturally and linguistically diverse children and/or adolescents who have special educational needs.

The goal of the program is the development of sensitive, informed and dedicated educators to address the full spectrum of educational needs for this population. In addition, students will learn about accessible instructional materials, assistive technology, curriculum access and alignment, classroom designs for success and family/community engagement. Graduates will be prepared to work with students with special needs in preschool settings through the 12th grade.
