Liberty’s online education classes will help you develop better assessment and teaching methods to help minister to the academic, emotional, and spiritual needs of special education students. The flexible and affordable online format lets you stay connected with your family, your church, and your work. Through a curriculum that is built upon biblical values and principles, you can create a positive learning environment in the classroom for every student.
