The University of San Francisco has a wonderful program that focuses on the practical side of teaching special education, putting the theory to use in our classrooms. The teachers equipped us with good teaching strategies and practices, and counseled us through the challenges of teaching special needs kids. I enjoyed my learning experience and made great friends through the program.
