Augsburg
College offers licensure programs in learning disabilities (LD) and
emotional and behavioral disabilities (EBD). Both programs are approved
by the State of Minnesota Board of Teaching and accredited by the
National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. These programs
lead to a license
qualifying holders to teach in K-12 special education settings.
The
program is based on an internship model and is geared toward students
currently working as paraprofessional/educational assistants or as
provisionally licensed teachers in EBD/LD
settings. Students admitted to the program can continue to be employed
by their district while completing their coursework and student
teaching, allowing for coursework and experience to occur
simultaneously. The program is feasible for students not
currently working in LD/EBD settings, however there are additional
field requirements for these students.
Licensure in special education is available for all majors during in
the weekend schedule (F-Su) only. The programs
are available at both the
undergraduate and graduate levels.

Program
Standards:
Earning a Minnesota teaching certificate is not merely
course-based. Students demonstrate their possession of rigorous
outcome-based professional standards by completing a program portfolio as they progress through
the Education Department coursework. Students are advanced to student
teaching placements only after a favorable review of their readiness
based on portfolio documentation.
