New Certificate Program for Educators: Online Instruction for Students with Disabilities

The first of a two-course series that constitutes Montclair State’s College of Education and Human Services’ new Virtual Learning for Students with Disabilities program.

With uncertainty comes possibility. As educators adjust to the new responsibilities of online teaching, Montclair State University is holding true to its rich teacher preparation history by creating a new certificate program designed to build the skills and confidence of educators of students with disabilities in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.

Registration is now available for a new, fully online course, Online Instruction for Students with Disabilities. This is the first of a two-course series that will constitute Montclair State’s College of Education and Human Services’ new Virtual Learning for Students with Disabilities program. The certificate is designed for teachers who are looking to discover new technologies as they redesign curricula and instruction for the virtual learning environment.

“As educators, we have all been challenged by the abrupt shift to online instruction. Those of us who teach students with disabilities have the added burden of ensuring that our students continue to learn and progress, without falling further behind,” says Associate Professor Jennifer Goeke.
