Presentation
Since the law of February 11, 2005, known as the "Law for Equal Rights and Opportunities, Participation, and Citizenship for People with Disabilities," the education of students with disabilities
has been a priority for the government. However, regardless of their individuality or needs
, schools now have a mission to be fully inclusive. It must ensure high-quality education
by seeking and offering solutions tailored to each student from kindergarten through high school.
With this in mind, this program has two objectives:
To train professionals in the challenges of inclusive education by enriching their knowledge
and practices and helping them to better understand and support these groups with specific needs
.
To develop a scientific culture linked to research in the service of inclusion.
This master's degree is open to:
Teachers who wish to prepare for CAPPEI certification (certification of professional aptitude
for inclusive education practices and specialized vocational training created
by the decree of February 10, 2017).
For teachers in mainstream classrooms and professionals working with children with special needs (educators, etc.) who wish to develop their professional practices and
deepen their knowledge of students with special educational needs.
