Educational Environments & Planning for Students with Mild Disabilities

Catalog description

Various teaching models and research-based strategies will be investigated. Candidates will learn about educational environments, current educational trends, issues, policies, and practices, and their relationships to program planning, curriculum, instruction, and assessment of students with disabilities. Candidates will examine national, state, and local content standards in order to plan lessons, which meet the needs of the special education student's Individual Education Plan (IEP). In the field, candidates will observe the process of curriculum and unit development and the use of educational frameworks, such as the Universal Design for Learning (UDL), that promote multiple approaches to meeting the needs of students with disabilities.
