Collaborative Teacher Education (RSCB)

The Bachelor of Science in Collaborative Teacher Education program prepares students to be teachers who serve students with disabilities in grades K-12. The program includes coursework that covers most disabilities with the exception of sensory impairments and certain severe disabilities. Graduates are prepared to implement evidence-based practices in inclusive general education settings as well as develop programs that meet students’ unique educational needs in different school-based and community-based settings. Collaborative Teacher Education (RSCB) meets the criteria for ALSDE Level B certification in K-12 grade levels.

In addition to all AU Required GPA graduation requirements, candidates must also meet all ALSDE GPA requirements.
