DBU and Region 10 are excited to offer a unique opportunity for a cohort of small and rural educators seeking to earn their Master’s Degree in Special Education with a Specialization in ARD Facilitation beginning Spring 2020. Through this completely online program, you will work closely with your small and rural peers from across the state to obtain this unique degree that also prepares you to enter the Region 10 statewide diagnostician program if desired. We are able to offer this opportunity for potentially 1/3 of the regular tuition cost through this cohort. For more information, please click the information below. If you are interested in applying for the cohort, you must be employed in a small and/or rural LEA (see link of eligible LEAs), commit to working in a small and rural school while participating in the cohort and for three years after completion of the degree.
