Description
The Professional Seminar is a signature element of the adult learning model at Cambridge College and continues the student?s graduate program. It grounds learning in a cohort group of students with a faculty leader licensed in moderate needs special education. This seminar leader is the students? academic advisor and guides them through their graduate program. The cohort continues to studies professional standards for special needs teachers, and the requirements for state licensure in moderate special needs PreK-8 and 5-12. Students integrate their learning from classes, workshops, and experience. Transformed by the resulting knowledge, competencies, attitudes and values, students become competent, caring, qualified educators, reflective practitioners and lifelong learners. The seminar also supports students? work on their independent learning projects, from identifying topics, to guiding the research and writing, to completion. The seminar leader approves the finished projects.
