Special education teachers make sure all students can learn, regardless of ability or other special needs. A special education degree prepares you to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in K-12 education today. But you also have the reward of creating opportunities for students who may have given up on school. Special education majors study all four major subjects: English, math, science, and social studies in addition to learning how to teach. They also develop techniques for teaching and assessing students with special needs, including gifted learners in preparation for licensure.
BC’s Unique Program
Bluefield College provides a Christ-centered approach that prepares servant leaders to make a difference in the classroom. The School of Education faculty make every effort to know you as a person. With their help, you’ll design creative lessons and learn how to reach struggling students. You’ll begin field experience observations very early in your studies, acquiring more than 100 hours of observation before you begin student teaching in a southwestern Virginia classroom.
