Childhood Inclusive Education with
(Grade 1-6)

Program Information
The revised Childhood Inclusive Education Program offers initial dual certification in Childhood and Special Education in grade 1-6. The following is an overview of requirements for the Childhood Inclusive Education Program. Teacher candidates with dual certification will be qualified to teach in general and special education/inclusive classrooms in grade 1-6. Revised program applications will be available online at www.brockport.edu/ehd by July 2007.  Eligibility for enrollment into the program is based on current enrollment as an undergraduate at Brockport in one of approved academic majors listed below. Acceptance to the college does not guarantee acceptance to the program.  A separate application is required to apply for admission to the Childhood Inclusive Education Program. Application review dates are September 15 and February 15. In times of high demand not all applicants meeting minimum requirements may be admitted to the program.

Admissions Requirements at Time of Application

  1. Completion of 45 credits of college level work.
  2. Cumulative GPA > 2.5 earned at Brockport and prior colleges.
  3. Two recommendations: recent college professor, and a professional recommendation from a volunteer or experience.
  4. Enrollment in an approved academic major.
  5. Submission of the application essay.

Note: While the 30 hour entry experience is no longer an admission requirement, the department strongly encourages applicants to gain a volunteer or work experience with children prior to program admission.
