A major in Special Education: Cross-Categorical Disabilities Mild to Moderate prepares candidates to teach students with special needs in grades K-12. It is available as a stand-alone program or in combination with Elementary Education.
Students must meet all requirements for certification before this degree will be conferred, including passing the following: 1) all sections of the Missouri General Education Assessment (MoGEA); 2) the Professional Development Folio (semester prior to student teaching); 3) the Missouri Content Assessment(s) (MoCA) for each area of certification sought; and 4) a passing composite score on their summative evaluation in the Missouri Educator Evaluation System (MEES).
Students must pass both the Missouri Content Assessment (MoCA) for Mild-Moderate Cross-Categorical and all four subtests of the Elementary Education Multi-Content exam (English/language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies).
