The ABS offering at St. Scholastica is a second license, added to either an elementary, secondary or K-12 teaching licensure. The role of the Academic Behavioral Strategist is to collaborate and consult with families, classroom, and special education teachers and other service providers to design and implement individualized education program plans that serve students with mild to moderate disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Our graduate licensure program was created in collaboration with the K-12 community. Coursework is grounded in research and best practices and instills teachers with the knowledge, skills and dispositions needed to promote learning for students with disabilities. The program will build reflective practitioners who work to facilitate inclusion as a way to meet the needs of academically and behaviorally diverse learners in order to provide them the educational experiences in which they are encouraged, valued, and respected. In addition to fostering students&#8217; efficacy, addressing the attitudes and biases of others toward individuals with disabilities is equally important. The varied courses, school-based projects and assessments, and field experiences enable the mastery of core skills for teaching special education, and those specific to an Academic and Behavioral Strategist.<\/p>\n<h4>Work Toward Your Master&#8217;s while Earning Your Teaching License<\/h4>\n<p>Our program is designed to meet the requirements of a Master of Science while you are working toward your Minnesota Academic and Behavioral Strategist teaching license. This means you&#8217;ll be able to enhance your work in the teaching profession with a master&#8217;s degree, giving you more earning potential, additional credentials and a full understanding of how to be an effective special education teacher. If you&#8217;re not interested in earning a Master of Science degree and simply want your Academic and Behavioral Strategist teaching license, we can accommodate your needs as well.

You will also need to meet the requirements regarding comprehensive scientifically-based reading instruction (reading standards). The core skills consist of 52 State standards divided into four areas. The ABS skills consist of an additional 49 State standards divided into the same four areas plus one additional area. The core skills and ABS skills are divided into the following areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Foundational knowledge<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Referral, evaluation, planning and programming<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Instructional design, teaching and ongoing evaluation<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Communication and collaboration<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Clinical experiences<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The clinical experience does not require typical student teaching since the ABS license is an additional license program.
