I earned a B.S. in Early Childhood Education as well as a Masters in Collaborative Special Education, which focuses on diagnosing reading difficulties, assessing students with disabilities, meeting the needs of students with a variety of physical and intellectual disabilities, managing inappropriate behavior, and complying with complex federal laws. My college work was both rigorous and challenging. This doesn’t make me a rocket scientist, but it makes me no less a college graduate.
True; I was simply responding to that poster regarding education degrees not being education degrees for secondary teachers.
I have friends who were elementary ed, and it was not easy at my school.
