Post Master's Special Education Generalist Endorsement Certificate
Marissa Manza
- Class of 2014, 2016
BA, MED, Special Education Endorsement
"Every person’s brain works differently and that gives each of us different strengths and weaknesses. Being a special education teacher, I keep this in mind each day as I work to instill confidence in my students by matching what I do as a teacher with how my students best learn. I see education as a process that involves not only the brain, but also the whole person and each day I seek to educate the student’s heart, mind and body. I see education this way because this is how I was taught. My students are my teachers too. I believe in the beauty and value of each individual student and the power they have to make this world a better place and that is why I am a teacher. "
The post master’s certificate is offered on the University of Portland campus for licensed teachers who already hold a master’s degree.
The special education generalist endorsement advances teachers' abilities to assess special needs children and develop and design appropriate instructional support for these children.
