BDN, Zipe Education report on UMaine program to earn special education teaching credentials
The Bangor Daily News and Zipe Education reported on a partnership between the University of Maine College of Education and Human Development and Maine Child Development Services (CDS) that allows CDS employees to become certified as teachers of students with disabilities, birth to age 5, in just nine months. The fast-track program is designed to speed up the certification process for these educators, who would otherwise need to complete a four-year undergraduate or two-year graduate degree to earn special education teaching credentials.
