Introduction

The M.Ed. in Special Education prepares educators to work directly with students who have disabilities and collaborate with families, other professionals, and administrators. The College of Education works with its two campus laboratory schools: Starpoint School for children with learning differences and the KinderFrogs School for children with Down syndrome and other developmental delays. These schools create exceptional opportunities for TCU students pursuing the special education master’s degree.

The program is designed for students who are already certified teachers or those who have extensive experience with students with disabilities.

The Special Education Interventionist degree focuses on evidence-based practices proven to be effective for K-12 students with disabilities. With this knowledge, students will be able to establish themselves as teacher-leaders in their respective schools and districts. This program also emphasizes applied research and professional writing. Note: This program does not meet the requirements for initial Special Education teacher certification. Prerequisite: Certification to teach EC-6, Middle or Secondary School, or experience working with diverse populations in K-12. Students will complete 12 hours of core research courses and 24 hours of courses designed to increase pedagogical knowledge, skills in managing challenging student behavior, and educational assessment.
