• Having three years of half-time or full-time teaching experience
• Doing advanced coursework (six credits beyond masters)
• Having completed a master's degree in education
• Some students may need to develop a professional portfolio documenting their competency that has been evaluated by a university program (see an adviser)
• Students must apply for admission to obtain the Continuing Licensure.

Please schedule an appointment with the Special Education Department Chair, Leslie Munson, for information on applying to the SPED CTL program and to discuss program requirements.
