Education for Inclusive Environments, BAE

Educators (e.g., general elementary teachers and special education teachers) in today’s world need a broad understanding of the fundamental right and value of including all children from various backgrounds, including, but not limited to, socio-economic status, language, ethnicity, and ability. This major and professional training program focuses upon educational inclusion for our nation’s increasingly diverse population.
