Lakeland University, and CESA 7 Partner to Address Special Education Teacher Shortage.
Schools across Wisconsin and nationally are facing a shortage of special education teachers.
Lakeland University and the regional Cooperative Educational Service Agency (CESA 7) in Green Bay are partnering to address the shortage by creating a new pathway for Lakeland education majors to earn a special education teaching license.
The partnership with CESA 7 will allow Lakeland students pursuing a K-9 teaching license to add a K-12 Cross-Categorical Special Education license by completing four special education elective courses through CESA 7 and a student teaching experience through Lakeland.
