Degree Title:	Teacher Preparation Program with M.A. in Teaching - Special Education, Learning Disabilities
College:	Walden University
Description:	The Post-Baccalaureate in Special Education, Learning Disabilities (K-12) program, offered by Walden University's The Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership, with an option to earn a Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) provides proven practices and teaching methods to promote social and academic achievement for students with learning disabilities. Incorporating the Council for Exceptional Children Standards and the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium Standards, this program can lead to a master's degree with only two additional research courses. Our Master of Arts in Teaching was developed by leading educational experts and master teachers to expand your teaching repertoire and make a greater impact in the classroom. In this program, you will: examine the characteristics of learning disabled youngsters in the context of characteristics of all types of learners; learn how to plan for and support the individual needs and strengths of the learning disabled; discover how to build collaborative relationships with parents and agencies to help promote learning in all content areas; and participate in supervised fieldwork and demonstration teaching to prepare you for the real-world life of a special educator. This program can be completed in 20 months.
