OVERVIEW
In this webinar, REL-NEI researchers present findings from a newly published Issues & Answers Report, titled “Do States Have Certification Requirements for Preparing General Education Teachers to Teach Students with Disabilities? Experience in the Northeast and Islands Region.” The report examines how Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Vermont, and the U.S. Virgin Islands prepare their general education teachers to teach students with disabilities. Researchers have identified eight content areas that these states and territories require teachers to study, including growth and development of exceptional children (required in seven jurisdictions), instructional design (required in five jurisdictions), and adapting, differentiating, accommodating, or modifying instruction (required in five of the jurisdictions).
