Program Overview
Salt Lake Community College and the Utah State Board of Education (USBE) are partnering to provide math courses required for middle school and special education-licensed teachers seeking a Special Education Mathematics or Middle School Mathematics Endorsement. Participants will be able to finish their endorsement while attending classes specifically designed for middle school/special education teachers.
This 45-hour, 3-credit course is for special education teachers seeking a Secondary Special Education Mathematics Endorsement or the Alternate Pathway to Professional Educator License-Special Education (APPEL-SPED). This course provides educators with the foundational skills and knowledge needed to teach mathematics effectively at the secondary level. Emphasizing alignment with grade-level standards, the course systematically designs instruction toward a specific learning goal by integrating cross-disciplinary skills, a variety of instructional strategies, and the application of mathematical concepts in real-world contexts.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
