Special Education Interventionist K-8 & 6-12 Graduate Certificate

The graduate certificate in Special Education Interventionist K-8 & 6-12 is intended for those seeking to develop a knowledge and skill base that undergirds effective, equity focused teaching of K-12 students with a range of exceptionalities and from a range of backgrounds. A graduate certificate in Special Education Interventionist K-8 & 6-12 is appropriate for K-12 teachers endorsed in areas outside of exceptional education, K-12 teachers endorsed in an area of exceptional education at the undergraduate level, administrators and supervisors aspiring to lead schools or serve in roles supporting special student populations, non-endorsed professionals whose work (e.g., museum, public-service agency) interfaces significantly with K-12 education, and those interested in home schooling. Coursework in this certificate is designed to lead to an additional endorsement in Special Education Interventionist K-8 & 6-12 for teachers licensed in other areas in the state of Tennessee, pending transcript review, passing appropriate licensure exams and approval of the faculty advisor.
