I need to do this course - Teaching students with disabilities. I was wondering if there is one online?

Question

I need this as a CE requirement but I work all day and find it hard to attend classes. If I could find an online course that would be great. I already took the Teaching Literacy that Excelsior offered.

Answer 1

You are cheating yourself by thinking an online course will prepare you.  You need a course taught by someone who has worked with students with disabilities and also lab experience to go with it.

Teaching is hard work, and with full inclusion in most school districts in the US, it is getting even harder.  You need to be prepared through direct experiences and research-based practices, not just have paperwork saying you read about it and passed a competency test.

Answer 2

I think doing a continuing education (CE) course online is fine!  My state department of education offers online courses, but it is not widely publicized.  My local community college does, too.  Let me know if you want to know the names.  Hate to post it publicly.

Answer 3

Depends where you are based. Even if you do an online course you'll probably still need to do some practical placement..

You could also try night classes. That way it doesn't interfere with your normal job.

Another thing you may want to consider. If you are already in a teaching job try to get your employer to put this down as your PD this way you may get time off to attend the classes you need to attend.
