Welcome to the Department of Inclusive Childhood Education! As leaders in preparing inclusive early childhood and childhood educators, we work to empower our teacher education candidates to construct and implement meaningful and research-based professional practices that transform them, their learners, their communities, and their profession.
We understand that inclusion is not just education for students with special needs; we define inclusive education as a multi-faceted process by which every student is nurtured in his/her growth toward the pursuit of a meaningful life. To meet this, we offer a variety of inclusive teacher education programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels, focusing on the early childhood (Birth-Grade 2) and childhood (Grades 1-6) levels. Our programs prepare educators who teach in general education settings, in inclusive education settings, and in self-contained special education settings at the pre-school, elementary and middle school levels.
We encourage you to learn more about our programs through exploring our departmental web site, and please, do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions or if you would like additional information about the learning opportunities in the Department of Inclusive Childhood Education.

Please Note...
If you are new to teacher education, we realize that the terminology can be confusing. You might be asking...
- What is inclusive education?
- Is it the same as "special education?"
- Is "childhood education" the same as "elementary education?"
- What program should I enroll in if I want to teach third grade?
