        Program Overview<\/h2><\/span>\n

        The Trinity School of Education <\/a>offers dual licensure MAT options focused on preparing\u00a0all educators to work with students with diverse learning needs. At Trinity we believe that all educators should be prepared to work with students with disabilities. This program focuses on developing the knowledge, skills, and abilities to teach students with and without disabilities in inclusive settings. This program is the first and only dual licensure MAT program offered by a university in the District of Columbia. The dual licensure options include: Early Childhood Education and Special Education, Elementary Education and Special Education, or Secondary Education and Special Education. Candidates will graduate with an MAT in their primary focus (Early Childhood Education<\/a>, Elementary Education<\/a>, and Secondary Education<\/a>) and receive licensure in that primary focus area AND Special Education. This option requires candidates to take four courses in Special Education in addition to their course sequence in their primary focus area.
