The Seawolf to Education Specialist Project (SeEds)

Drs. Elizabeth Ducy and Jennifer Mahdavi received a U.S. Department of Education Office of Special Education Grant of over $1 million for the next five years. The Seawolf to Education Specialist Project (SeEds) aims to increase the number of diverse (e.g., race, ethnicity, culture, language, and disability status) fully credentialed special education teachers with the knowledge and skills to serve children and youth with disabilities. The SeEds Project will provide financial assistance, sustained advising, advanced coursework, and first-year teaching support to cohorts of student teachers pursuing a special education credential at Sonoma State University.
