Rethinking the “L” Word in Higher Education: The Revolution of Research on Leadership: ASHE Higher Education Report (J-B ASHE Higher Education Report Series (AEHE))

In these times of change and challenge in higher education, pleas for leadership have become frequent. However, the type of leadership required within this new context (of globalization, demographic changes, technological advancement, and questioning of social authority) may call for different skills, requiring a re-education among campus stakeholders if they want to be successful leaders. In the past twenty years, there has been a revolution in the way that leadership is conceptualized a

Online special education degree?

1月 15, 2012 · Posted in Online Education · 1 Comment 

Question by Caroline S: Online special education degree?
I would like to pursue a degree in special education. I live in rural Pennsylvania right over the Mason-Dixon line. I have a busy life with a job and family to take care of. Does anyone know of a way to get part of my degree online and do my student teaching on site? I currently hold an associates degree. Thanks much!

Answer by se
Unfortunately, I do not not know of any program that would fully meet your needs. While online courses have become increasingly popular, some things simply can not be done online. For example, student teaching or student observation. Since these are important requirements in becoming a teacher you will always find that you have to actually perform some duties and attend some classes in person.

However, there are a variety of universities that offer some of their required classes completely online. Many educational programs offer hybrid classes where you attend part of the class online, say after you meet your teacher and classmates and before taking a final exam in person. Some schools require a certain number of classes to be taken on the traditional campus for a “residency” requirement.

There is also the issue of costs. Some online programs are much more expensive but offer local community centers near your home. Others are much cheaper but have hidden requirements and deficiencies.

One important deficiency is whether or not the program is “regionally accredited” and accepted by a major university that you might consider transferring to for an advance degree and whether or not it accepted by the state department of education for credentialing or licensing. You must ask them. Otherwise, the program, no matter how convenient, is worth no more than a diploma mill. You might get some kind of a paper, but not be able to teach legally.

Please be aware of the many institutions that say that the state allows them to operate, or that they are accredited or licensed by an institution other than a regionally-accrediting agency that is used by major university. Do not ask this of the salesperson. They will always make it sound like they are regionally-accredited. You must ask a local reputable university counselor and your state department of education.

The Internet is a wonderful invention. If you take your subject of your question and add to what you want to know about it, the search engine will do the rest. For example:

My subject is Primary and Secondary Education. I want to know where to get certified as a teacher.

The search engine result is as follows:

Teaching + state certification requirements

What you get is this: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Teachin…

This will work for any subject category. Give it a try and good luck

I like that approach better than just saying “Google it” or “Look online”.

The public state universities will be both cheaper and better. Stay away from the for-profits because of the prohibitively high costs. In order to pick one, I would have to know in what degree program you are interested.
