Dev/Imp Community Based Curr-All Student

Catalog description

This course is designed to provide a foundational understanding of community-based curriculum planning, development, and teaching strategies for children and youth across a range of disabilities. Community-based experiences develop critical skills which children must learn for success in life. The course will guide graduate students in the development and implementation of a community-based curriculum by using a series of projects created so that children can learn and practice functional and life skills both in their classrooms and in natural community environments. An essential component will be the use of problem solving in the development of a variety of integrated activities that promote membership and learning for both special education and general education students. Our goal is to prepare children to lead productive lives at home, in school, and in their social relationships.
