What is special about the programme

  • The Home and the Way

    The home is togetherness, partnership and pride; the way is the academy, practice and growing from a student teacher into an educator.

  • A range of populations

    Learning disabilities, the autistic spectrum, intellectual and developmental disability, cerebral palsy, behavioural and emotional disorders, deafness and blindness.

  • Plenty of settings

    Following the reform "What is special in education is including the special", there is a wide range of teaching settings: special classes, inclusion and special education schools.

  • A special smile

    The goal: that you arrive in the morning with a smile and end the day with a sense of satisfaction.

More about the programme

About the programme

In the Department of Special Education you gain academic knowledge and skills in teaching methods adapted to the whole class, to small groups and to one-to-one work.

The studies combine hands-on practice in schools and kindergartens with a mentor teacher and a pedagogical instructor from the college.

Combining with another department

You can study special education together with English (primary school track), or special education alongside one of these departments: science, mathematics, Hebrew language, Bible, literature, communication, and Israeli culture and heritage.
