The primary goal of the Special Education program is to develop self-confident, inquisitive, and thoughtful educators who are grounded in the breadth and depth of Learning Disabilities and Cognitive Impairments.
The philosophy of the Special Education program is based on beliefs that influence the nature and content of instructional offerings. Emphasis is placed on incorporating practical application with theoretical discussion and legal/ethical aspects of facilitating the learning of children with disabilities.
Siena Heights University’s philosophy of preparing special education students to teach individuals with Cognitive Impairment is built on 10 major points:
Education is for all individuals. Individuals with cognitive impairment are better served when programs are determined by individual learning needs and not categorical labels. Accurate data is the driving force of educational programs and are the foundation for the goals and objectives of an educational program. The full continuum of placements and all educational and community resources must be available to individuals with cognitive impairment. The determination of the least restrictive placement must be based on assessment data. The education of individuals with cognitive impairment should begin as early as possible and continue as long as needed. In all facets of life, transitions from one period to the next are critical. The program for preparing teacher education candidates to teach individuals with cognitive impairment should cover all areas of learning including academic, social, daily living, and prevocational/vocational. The program must be based on research data and best practices. The standard curriculum is the base for building an individual educational program for individuals with cognitive impairment. The schools, as well as the teachers and other school professionals, are an integral part of the community. The special education teacher should provide both direct and indirect services and support to the community. A role of a teacher education program is to meet the educational needs of Michigan individuals. The Michigan Department of Education’s standards, Michigan Administrative Rules for Special Education (MARSE), and current best practices should be the platform on which the teacher education program builds. A goal of the program is to provide leadership in the development of an improved instructional program.
Siena Heights University’s Division of Education was granted national accreditation by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) for the full seven years, from Spring 2020 to Spring 2027. This accreditation certifies the forenamed professional initial certification programs have provided evidence of meeting all CAEP’s standards.

The name Siena honors St. Catherine of Siena, a 14th-century Italian Dominican who dedicated her life to a quest for truth and social responsibility. Similarly, the mission of the institution – to help students become more competent, purposeful, and ethical – grows out of the philosophy of Siena.
Throughout its history, Siena Heights has built a proud tradition of innovative responses to challenging social needs. Originally a college for women who intended to become teachers, Siena broadened its offerings over the years and by the 1950s was recognized as one of the nation’s 10 best liberal arts colleges for women.
The mission of Siena Heights University, a Catholic University founded and sponsored by the Adrian Dominican Sisters, is to assist people to become more competent, purposeful, and ethical through a teaching and learning environment which respects the dignity of all.
