With many exceptional education students being served in blended classroom environments, there is a need for every teacher to be better prepared for engaging, preparing, and evaluating students at all levels.\u00a0In an effort to help teachers remain certified while continuing their professional development and enhancing their skill in the classroom,\u00a0麻豆原创 professor\u00a0Dr. Maria Reyes\u00a0and several faculty within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/college\/community-innovation-education\/\">College of Education and Human Performance<\/a> are currently creating three key programs to offer the credits and experience that teachers need.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first piece is offering online courses in exceptional education for any and all educators seeking recertification,\u201d Dr. Reyes tells us. \u201cThose are open to learners who need only basic credits to be recertified. The next level is a course that&#8217;s currently in development; it would offer either one-, two-, or three-credit options depending on the teacher&#8217;s needs, and each level would involve more modules, activities, and interaction to qualify for the increased credit. Finally, the most comprehensive effort to provide exceptional education experience to teachers is the\u00a0Educators Summer Institute, a two-day conference comprised of workshops, group sessions, and pre-conference online modules that is immersive, complete, and a true learning experience for teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beyond simply assisting teachers in meeting this new requirement, the courses and the Educators Summer Institute are aimed at enhancing the skills and classroom management abilities of all teachers. Participants also benefit from the technology, research, and experience that 麻豆原创&#8217;s faculty offer, ensuring that lessons and activities are preparing teachers with the latest available information.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we&#8217;re hoping to do is provide as much as we can to assist teachers in not only meeting the requirements for recertification, but enhancing their abilities and classroom management,\u201d Dr. Reyes continues. \u201cIt&#8217;s a real need at this point, particularly because there are not very many options. At 麻豆原创 we also have a strong emphasis on the use of technology in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/exceptional-student-education-bs\/\">exceptional education<\/a>, and we&#8217;re trying to include that as a very useful tool for teachers to incorporate.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In January of 2014, Florida&#8217;s Board of Education enacted\u00a0new revisions\u00a0to the Educator Certification Rule, and among the changes was a requirement for teachers seeking recertification to complete either a one-credit course or 20 in-service hours working with special needs students.
