Inclusion is No Longer Optional

Today’s educators must be equipped to meet the needs of a wide range of students in general education settings—including those with disabilities and other learning differences. Yet most teachers feel unprepared.

The Board Certification in Inclusion in Special Education (BCISE) was created by NASET to meet this urgent need. This comprehensive online program trains and certifies educators to become skilled, confident inclusion specialists.

But Teachers are Overwhelmed

Despite the growing demand for inclusion classrooms, many educators lack the training and confidence to implement inclusion effectively. Research shows that teachers often feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or unsupported in these settings.

The success of inclusion education depends on knowledgeable, well-prepared professionals who believe in their ability to make a difference. BCISE helps you become that professional.

Is this Certification for Me?

Are you a general or special education teacher?

 Are you an inclusion coordinator, instructional coach, or team leader?

Are you a school administrator working to build inclusion practices?

Are you involved in IEP development or implementation?

Then this certification is for YOU!

Whether you're currently working in inclusion settings or preparing to transition into one, this program provides the skills, strategies, and credentials you need to lead inclusion classrooms with confidence.

How BCISE Stands Apart

Most inclusion training programs lack oversight or consistent standards.
BCISE is different.

Developed by nationally respected institutions—NASET and AASEP—this board certification goes far beyond a weekend workshop. It’s a structured, comprehensive program built to develop true competence and credibility in the field.
