The Affordances and Constraints of Special Education Initial Teacher Licensure Policy for Teacher Preparation
Authors: Blanton Linda P., Boveda Mildred, Munoz Lorena R., Pugach Marleen C.
The authors examined initial licensure polices in special education to determine how these policies support or hinder reform efforts to develop teacher education programs that prepare graduates for the increasingly complex needs of diverse students. Initial special education licensure policies are described with an emphasis on the differences across states on two key options: whether licensure for special education teachers is a stand-alone initial license or whether the state requires a general education license prior to obtaining a second license in special education.

The goal of this article is to provide a conceptual framework to simultaneously make sense of and problematize the landscape of collaborative teacher education, based on a classification system of program models.
