The Concurrent Education Specialist Level I/Preliminary Multiple Subject Program combines special education and elementary education preparation in order to prepare future teachers to meet the diverse needs of students, kindergarten through grade 12. Graduates of the concurrent program are highly sought after by California schools because they are especially prepared to teach at-risk and special needs students, whether in a general education classroom or in specialist educational settings.
The School of Education is a recognized leader in preparing educators to meet the needs of a diverse, democratic, and sustainable society through inquiry, collaboration, and service toward a socially and ecologically just world.
We believe in the power of education to create a strong democratic and sustainable society that honors diversity and inclusivity. The mission of the SOE, in collaboration with our community partners, is to support the development of effective, reflective, and engaged educators who value the identities of all students, their families, and the communities they serve. We are committed to scholar-practitioner inquiry and responsible praxis–based pedagogies that serve as tools toward cultivating socially and ecologically just practices in classrooms, local communities, and beyond.
