Info Session - Developing Future Special Educators
Description
NPRC was granted $20,000.00 dollars to support the first Developing Future Special Educators cohort at the start of the spring 2025 academic term. Students interested in applying for this group of courses must be in a high school career and technical education program, or enrolled in a course for, or have achieved, a CDA credential.
This awarded grant will be used to support a minimum of 12 students. Funding will cover the cost of enrolling in seven academic credits and textbooks at NPRC for students to learn more about special education. Learners will enroll in two, three credit courses remotely over two academic terms and a 40-hour, one credit externship. The externship will be completed at their place of employment if they are already working in the industry or at the school they are attending as a CTE student.
Questions & Answers
No, the selection of courses established for the Developing Future Special Educators cohort are intended to be an introduction to special education and encourage students to continue their studies beyond this introduction.
These courses are fully funded, for a 12-student cohort. Should enrollment exceed 12 students, grant funds will be dispersed at a pro-rated amount for tuition and textbooks each academic term. Students may be responsible for paying any remaining balance after a grant disbursement has been applied. Those interested in this program are encouraged to speak to their school or place of employment for additional financial support.
You will need to complete and submit a non-degree admissions application before being eligible to enroll in these courses.
Career and Technical Education Students will need to complete an Early Entry Transcript Request and Authorization Form.
