The Academic Program

Special education (SPED) is a component of general education. Its basic purpose is to assist individuals who do not benefit from traditional educational programs. Special educators teach and help others teach persons who have special learning needs. They individualize and adapt instruction to help individuals with special needs become independent and contributing members of society.

Faculty in the Department of Special Education prepare students at the undergraduate and graduate levels to work in both school and non-school settings. Professional roles include teacher, resource manager, consultant, infant specialist and transition specialist. The program is field-based.

Accreditations

The special education program is accredited by the State of Hawai‘i under the State Approval of Teacher Education (SATE) process, applying standards established by the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC). The master of education degree program is accredited by the Council of Exceptional Children (CEC).

Advising

Advising of students in the undergraduate and post-baccalaureate dual preparation in secondary and special education program is the responsibility of the Office of Student Academic Services, College of Education.

Upon acceptance to special education graduate programs, students are assigned to a faculty adviser. Advisers review program requirements and progress, plan program course work, complete departmental preregistration forms for the next semester, and sign course registration materials. Program advisers may waive course work (based on courses taken previously) on an individual basis. Advisers have the responsibility of reviewing and individualizing students’ programs to complement their needs. Advisers ensure that students have appropriate knowledge and applied skills to perform as competent special educators. Given this responsibility, advisers may require additional course work and/ or practicum experience for certain students. Changes made in students’ programs must be approved by their advisers.
