M.A. in Education in Early Childhood Special Education and Inclusion
The Master of Arts in Education in Early Childhood Special Education and Inclusion (MAEd ECSEI) online degree program is designed to support educators and administrators who want to acquire skills and mastery of Jewish ECE theories and practices as well as to master the skills necessary for inclusionary practices for children with special needs and their families. Our cohort model brings together educators from a diverse group of practitioners in a wide range of programs and philosophies. Together, we learn, grow, advocate, and support the field of Jewish Early Childhood Education, special education, and inclusion. Our learning is framed by the Torah, Hebrew, Israel, and the intersection of our traditions and innovations for learning.
This is an ONLINE program that meets Mondays from 4:30-6:30 PM PT.
