Description

Introduction The number of teacher education programs combining general and special education teacher certification is growing. In spite of this increase, we know relatively little about how these programs impact preservice teachers' (PSTs) developing professional identities. Combined credential programs claim to address the needs of stakeholders in special education--children, parents, and policy makers--and to recognize the increased need for better-trained teachers in both general education and special education (Keefe, Rossi, de Valenzuela, & Howarth, 2000; Utley, 2009). Supporters also suggest that combined programs offer an ideological shift away from the false, but common, distinction between "typical" and "atypical" children.
