Abstract	To address rural schools' growing need for teachers who can teach in both elementary and special education, Arkansas College has begun a 4-year program of dual certification that will prepare teachers for elementary and special education assignments. Serving a largely rural area, Arkansas College has first hand experience with the problems facing rural schools and is especially sensitive to their needs. The college began to study the dual certification option because of repeated requests from area schools to provide teachers with the training to teach proficiently in more than one area. Many of these rural schools do not need a full-time special education teacher, but do need a teacher who can teach in this area for a portion of the day and at the same time have the training to work in another area for the balance of the day. Dual certification training will not only increase the regular teacher's effectiveness--the special education teacher will also be better prepared to work with students in the mainstream. Such teachers will know what the regular education teacher expects from the student and will better understand how to make the transition between regular and special education experience. A summary of public schools in a 10-county area and a sample academic program check sheet are attached. (JHZ)
