Structure and Content of Students with Disabilities Teacher Certification

The State Education Department is seeking your input on a preliminary proposal to revise the structure and content of Students with Disabilities teacher certification (see attached). Since data analysis and feedback from the field suggest there will be a shortage of special educators at the secondary level, the proposal is designed to ensure the supply of effective special education teachers. Your comments are needed to further refine the proposal, which was endorsed by the Regents in December. We ask that you provide your feedback to us by February 15, 2008. Thank you for your continuing commitment to quality teaching, and we look forward to reviewing your ideas and good advice.
