You will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to provide leadership in the special education field and to better assist your own students in the self-actualization process through The Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership at Walden. Emphasis is on services to exceptional/disabled individuals and to the related areas of special education administration including law, finance and ethics. Most K-12 educators are strong advocates for improved services for exceptional/disabled individuals. Unfortunately, resources for the delivery of these services are often far less than schools and school districts desire. Graduates hold administrative, leadership and teaching positions in schools and school districts and research and teaching positions at universities and colleges throughout the United States.
