Florida Senate Bill 1108, requires educators applying for re-certification to earn one college credit or the equivalent in-service points in teaching students with disabilities (SWD). To assist educators in fulfilling this requirement, a college of education designed an online course and an educator's summer institute (ESI). This article examines the changes in perception of self-efficacy and knowledge of content in specialized instruction in working with SWD in inclusive settings resulting from participation in the two offerings. Results describe participants' gains in ESE content knowledge and a significant and positive impact on perceptions of self-efficacy to teach in inclusive settings.
