“My students – these future adults – are becoming someone they might not have been: potentially better citizens of the world because of what I’m doing as a teaching resident. That’s big!” – NYU Teacher Residency graduate, Lorraine Avila

To qualify for special education, you need a foundation in the liberal arts and a desire to support students with special needs.
