When considering prospective programs, remember that every teaching program is different. Some programs offer a joint Master of Education Degree/Teaching Credential Program, while others offer dual certification in Special Education. Search for the program that fits your academic and career goals, lifestyle, and financial capability. A directory of CTC-approved programs is available. Other considerations include:
- Financial Costs and Funding
- Program Quality and Reputation
- Program Length
- Time Structure
- Location
- Student Teaching Experience (One semester, versus one full year)
- Supervisor Experience
