Classroom Inquiry Methods in Critical Special Education.

Catalog description

This course underscores the criticality of educational research and theoretical frameworks to the development of local knowledge through teacher-research. Criticality here relates to issues of social justice in special education and the role of racial bias in educational practices. Throughout the semester, students further develop their understanding of specific methodological research design as applied to their own practice. Students also engage in the iterative process of writing a literature review and further developing the classroom inquiry plan.
