Edu Strat/Students with Disabl

Catalog description

This graduate course explores researchbased practice for teaching students with disabilities in academic and functional curriculum areas. Students of all disciplines are invited to register, whether involved in special education, elementary or secondary. The course will include techniques for both remediation and compensation with a focus on independent learning strategies. Both primary and supplemental instruction will be addressed, as well as collaboration and consultation with regular education teachers, parents and paraprofessionals. Strategies for successful integration and inclusion of students with disabilities will also be studied. Practicum experiences are a part of this course, therefore the assignments are designed for application of concepts and skills and reflection on practice for student teaching where this is required.
