Marymount Dean of Education and Human Services <a href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/Home\/Contact-Us\/Directory?profileid=851\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lois Stover<\/a> and our department faculty were all delighted we could customize an advanced program for their instructors,\u0094 said Hauth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Catholic schools have varied requirements in special education training and academic credentials. In order to more effectively address the learning differences and varying special needs that affect learning, dioceses across the country are turning to universities to offer advanced coursework and additional training for their teachers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hauth explained the benefits of the teacher training cohort for the Diocese, its teachers and students: \u0093It gives these teachers graduate level education and specialized training with Ph.D.\/Ed.D faculty that they can use immediately in the classroom to make a difference. It also gives\u00a0\u00a0teachers the opportunity to jumpstart advancing their career with 12 credit hours toward their master\u0092s degree in special education. Six out of 11 in the inaugural cohort expressed intent to complete their master\u0092s degree (36 hours), and the other five are considering the option. A needs analysis of each member of the cohort gave program developers the opportunity to create a mix of coursework with research and evidence-based practices.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hauth noted all of the teachers in the debut cohort teach in grades K-8, so the development team customized lesson plans and processes specific to the Diocese school system for those age students. \u0093We understand the many time demands and stresses of teachers \u0096 juggling classrooms, careers, extracurricular duties and families,\u0094 Hauth continued. \u0093We collaborated with the cohort teachers to choose the most valuable coursework, even the location and the class timing.\u0094 The debut program will take 18 months to complete, from August 2016 to December 2017, utilizing a hybrid format, primarily in class, but also integrating online learning.<\/p>\n<p>The four School of Education and Human Services\u0092 courses that garner cohort members 12 graduate level credit hours are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u0095\u00a0<\/strong>Special Education: Foundations and Characteristics of the Exceptional Learner<br \/>\n<strong>\u0095\u00a0<\/strong>Psycho-educational Assessment and Instructional Programming<br \/>\n<strong>\u0095\u00a0<\/strong>Diagnostic and Corrective Literacy Instruction<br \/>\n<strong>\u0095\u00a0<\/strong>Collaboration and Consultation in the Special Education Setting<\/p>\n<p>The program goal is to start one new cohort each year with twelve members. The first cohort ranges from teachers in their mid-20s to more experienced teachers in their late 40s. A Marymount student who graduated with her bachelor\u0092s in special education this past May and had already completed the foundation course being taught this semester, will join the cohort in the spring, rounding out the 12-person group.<\/p>\n<p>\u0093People are contacting me, very excited for the program to expand, to see where it is going and the impact it can have in the lives of students across the Northern Virginia area,\u0094 Hauth said. \u0093Part of Marymount\u0092s mission is outreach within the University\u0092s extended community, and we are well prepared to be the leader in this endeavor in the academic community in the D. C. area.\u0094\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Photo caption: The first cohort of the Marymount Graduate Special Education Program for teachers in the Arlington Diocese Catholic Schools (ADCS)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The inaugural cohort of the Marymount University Graduate Special Education Program kicked off this semester with eleven K-8th grade teachers from Catholic schools in the Diocese of Arlington.\u00a0The innovative training program, a collaboration between Marymount University\u0092s School of Education and Human Services and the Arlington Diocese Catholic Schools (ADCS), is the only one of its [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/blog\/marymount-collaborates-to-debut-first-graduate-level-special-education-training-program-for-arlington-diocese-catholic-schools\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Marymount Collaborates to Debut First Graduate Level Special Education Training Program for Arlington Diocese Catholic Schools - Marymount University<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The inaugural cohort of the Marymount University Graduate Special Education Program kicked off this semester with eleven K-8th grade teachers from .
