Abstract

Traditional teacher education programs are limited in their flexibility to offer substantial instruction in special education methodology because of state-mandated program lengths and general education requirements. The result can be a lack of knowledge for general education classroom teachers in best practices to teach students with diverse learning needs. For school districts with a high number of non-certified special educators, the problem is compounded. Thus, one initiative of a small, rural four-year institution was to harness the power of distance learning to provide multilayered online modules to address the supplemental learning needs of preservice (undergraduate) and in-service (graduate) educators, higher education teacher education faculty, K-12 district personnel and supervisors, families, and students.
