PITTSFORD, N.Y. — St. John Fisher University launched a new program for people looking for a career change into special education.
The university is offering a master’s residency or apprenticeship in childhood/adolescence inclusive education. The goal is to address the shortage of special education teachers in the area.
“This program also reflects the power of strong partnerships between Fisher and our local school districts. By learning alongside expert mentor teachers for an entire year, our residents gain the skills, judgment, and professional habits that set them up for long‑term success in the classroom,” said Dr. Joellen Maples, dean of the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. School of Education.
“The salary has helped me to be able to focus on this opportunity. I am able to give 100% of my time to my student teaching and can give my students my best because I am not stressed about another job or the financial burden traditional student teaching may bring,” said Emma Spelman, a student.
The full-time, 36-credit hour year-long program is a paid experience, earning a total of $25,000. Residents will work for local school districts alongside a mentor co-teacher.
Local school such as Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES, Bloomfield Central School District, Lyons Central School District, North Rose-Wolcott Central School District, and Hilton Central School District work with Saint John Fisher University.
