Overview
The GSE’s inquiry-oriented curriculum will focus specifically on the individual challenges and issues our students face as educational leaders and graduates of the program will exit with the ability to use research to improve educational practices for students with disabilities and other at-risk populations.
Features
- Students in the Special Education program at Rutgers University will read and critique research, analyze and discuss case studies, participate in simulations, practice communication skills, and conduct their own investigations into meaningful issues and problems.
- They will be challenged to understand and use research and data effectively in meeting the problems of practice, particularly those related to equity and social justice. Potential participants in this concentration might include those aspiring to become a special education supervisor as well as principals or other educational leaders or administrators who want to further develop expertise in special education.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- Students who complete this 72-credit program will exit having developed theoretical frameworks and critical perspectives needed to use research to both address issues, and effectively influence change in the educational communities they serve.
- The core courses of the Ed.D. program will explore topics including the sociocultural foundations of education, the history of educational reform, and educational leadership as it relates to communities and organizational change, amongst others.
- Courses required for the Special Education concentration will prompt deeper inquiry into subjects such as intervention design and outcome measurement in special education, and elective course requirements will allow for students to shape a specialization in a particular area or set of areas to meet their own practical and intellectual goals.
