Overview
Drawing on the disciplines, frameworks and research modalities of special education, social work, and public health, doctoral scholars will engage in interdisciplinary collaborations, training, and methodological rigor in advancing equity and inclusive education. Scholars will participate in applied research teams working to develop and test programs and practices in school and community settings.
Features
- Five core faculty members will lead the program, which places intentional emphasis on scholarship and activity and supports collaboration within the cohort and among the core faculty’s professional networks.
- Students in the Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Health and Inclusive Education program from The University of Vermont will engage in in-person seminars, online learning, and professional conferences that support their success within the program while completing courses and fieldwork that prepares them to conduct rigorous and meaningful research.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- The American Association for Employment in Education indicates the need for specially trained practitioners in special education and social, emotional, and behavioral health exceeds the supply of specialists.
- The Covid-19 pandemic exacerbated longstanding shortages in university faculty with expertise in inclusive education. The overall result is diminished school capacity which challenges the wellbeing of children, youth, and their families that falls disproportionately on students of color and students with disabilities.
