Curriculum and Methods for Exceptional Learners

Catalog description

Students in this course learn to develop and implement Individual Education Plans (IEPs) for K–12 students. Teacher candidates use data and team participation to develop a legally compliant, effective IEP to ensure each student is provided a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in their Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). Teacher candidates develop the tools necessary to provide services to implement the IEP in a variety of settings. They learn to adapt curriculum, materials, instruction and environments to meet the individual needs of each of their students. They also learn methods to collect data to monitor student progress toward IEP goals and to report that data to parents.
