Transition to Work (Special Education)

statue

We are offering classes leading to an endorsement for Transition To Work (TTW) Specialists. These are blended courses that meet no more than 4 times per semester and most content is completed online. It offers the best of both worlds for busy professionals: an opportunity to create connections with other TTW specialists and flexible scheduling so that you can work it around your family and work priorities. These classes are meant to support those who are working within the field of education or in the community and want to learn more about Transition to Work. 

The endorsement program is offered for teachers who meet the following criteria: A Transition to Work Specialist is one who has met the Ohio State Licensure Rule 3301-24-05 (B) (16) which states that the Transition to Work (TTW) Endorsement is limited to an intervention specialist license, career-technical license or professional pupil services license holder and shall be issued to an individual who holds a baccalaureate degree; who is deemed of good moral character; who has successfully completed an approved program of preparation; who has completed an examination prescribed by the State Board of Education; and who has been recommended by the dean or head of teacher education at an approved institution.

Xavier offers two Master’s Degree programs in Special Education: a Masters of Education and a Masters of Science. Individuals may also choose to apply the 18 hours of the TTW program toward one of these 30-hour degree programs at Xavier University. These special cohort classes will be offered at a reduced tuition cost.
