Instructional Methods in Special Education

Catalog description

This course provides a basis for individualizing instruction for students with high- incidence and low-incidence disabilities. It involves designing basic instructional sequences, utilizing behavioral and standards-based objectives, matching technology, learner and goal characteristics, identifying appropriate instructional strategies, finding, understanding and selecting evidenced-based practices and evaluating the effectiveness of instruction. Culturally diverse education is also explored in order for the learner to consider the impact that culture has on learning and ways teachers can positively impact learning by being aware and sensitive to various cultural needs.
