Generic special education teacher preparation: Emotional and behavioral disorders. Emotional and behavioral diorders
Abstract
Many college and university teacher education units in the USA (94% or 47 states) now offer generic special education teacher preservice programs. However, training in disability categories, specifically emotional and behavioral disorders, is not intensive or extensive. Thus, the purpose of this study was to identify the effects of the incorporation of research based practices related to the instruction of students with emotional or behavioral disorders into an introductory emotional disorders course and practicum within a generic special education teacher preservice program. The collaborative partners in this study were elementary, middle, and high schools (serving students with special needs and their non-disabled peers) along with an urban university. The article reports the findings of this collaborative effort and makes suggestions for future research. © SEBDA 2004 SAGE Publications.
