International Inclusive Education Certificate
The International Inclusive Education (IIE) Professional Certificate is an online program designed to support countries, districts, municipalities, and schools outside the United States who want research-based teacher preparation coursework that addresses the needs of students with and without disabilities. Educational programming that meets the needs of diverse learners outside of the U.S. varies greatly by country. This professional certificate addresses inclusive education from a research-based lens taught with a practitioner-friendly approach that allows teachers to implement what they are learning in online courses.
The IIE is a graduate credit earning program that addresses the inclusive education of all students with and without disabilities through learning and application of the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework, research-based literacy instruction, and multi-tiered system of supports. Specifically, the program helps teachers to redesign instruction by increasing access to the general curriculum, remove traditional barriers that leave students behind, and proactively monitor general education instruction and intervention to capitalize on the academic growth of all students and efficiency in the use of school capital. Additionally, the professional certificate also specifically addresses the design and delivery of a coordinated services model, specially designed instruction, or special education supports. Lasell's Project Management concentration gives students the skills needed to develop a project plan, define project goals and objectives, specify tasks of how goals will be achieved, and ensure the plan is carried out efficiently.
IIE701 - Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Curriculum Planning for All Learners
How effective is your curriculum at reaching all learners in your class?

Participants will learn effective instructional strategies in phonemic awareness, decoding and fluency instruction and use UDL and MTSS to meet the needs of all learners. A focus on evidence-based pedagogical practices to support all learners including strategy instruction, informal assessment screeners and diagnostic tools connected to instructional planning.
IIE703 - School-wide Model of Prevention and Intervention

This course will prepare teachers to use research-based pedagogical strategies for effective instruction and classroom organizational structure and design using a multi-tiered system of support framework (MTSS). The focus will address the aspects of MTSS including developing a strong general education instructional practices using UDL, understanding and implementing tiered interventions with fidelity and using universal screeners and progress monitoring tools.

The course will use the gradual release of responsibility model across the content areas and English language arts. Participants will learn effective instructional strategies in vocabulary acquisition and comprehension and use UDL and MTSS to meet the needs of all learners.
