When deciding to attend High Point University as a high school senior, my decision was heavily based on all that was offered through the Elementary Education program. I’ve known I wanted to be a teacher since I was in elementary school, so the rigor in courses, encouraging staff and overall experience-based learning solidified that HPU's Stout School of Education would help me become the best teacher I could possibly be.

Program Info

Licensure programs in special education allow students to choose from between two programs of study, General Curriculum or Adapted Curriculum. Those choosing the General Curriculum program of study will be prepared to teach K-12 students with milder disabilities and will work directly in general education classrooms. Courses focus on developing an understanding of policies and procedures in special education, the referral process, writing IEPs and methods for teaching students with learning challenges in reading, writing, mathematics and other content areas.

The Adapted Curriculum licensure program focuses on students with more severe intellectual and cognitive deficiencies across K-12 settings. Coursework includes assistive technology, sign language, writing IEP goals to address social, adaptive, and behavioral needs as well as transition after high school into the community for independent living.
