For Candidates with a Standard Instructional Certificate
The Teacher of Students with Disabilities Endorsement is designed and developed for New Jersey teachers who hold an initial Certification in another teaching specialty. The major area of the program includes endorsement in New Jersey as a Teacher of Students with Disabilities for certified elementary and secondary teachers.
Because of the need for general education teachers to be dually certified in general and special education, the Teacher of Students with Disabilities Endorsement adheres to the New Jersey state law that requires the development of recommendations on awareness of and instructional methods for teaching children with special needs, autism and other developmental disabilities.
Admissions Requirements
To be considered for admission, applicants are required to submit the following materials:
- Online application and application fee
- Official transcript(s) from all institutions attended
- Personal statement
- Resume/Curriculum vitae
Note: The Teacher of Students with Disabilities endorsement curriculum requires students to hold a current Instructional Certificate. Interested students without an Instructional Certificate are encouraged to pursue the College's Certificates of Eligibility with Advanced Standing options (Elementary or Secondary), or the M.A.E. in Elementary Teaching program.
Application Deadline
The program reviews applications on a rolling basis and typically accepts applicants throughout the year.
