Differentiating Curriculum and Instruction

Catalog description

The selection and differentiation of curriculum and instruction are examined from the perspective of students whose individual learning needs cannot be met through the curriculum or instructional model used for general classroom instruction. Pedagogical skills to teach students mathematics, English language arts, social studies, and science in an inclusive classroom will be addressed. This course is designed to provide Early Childhood, Childhood, Middle Childhood, and Adolescent teachers with the skills needed to include students whose individual needs vary along a continuum from giftedness to moderate and severe disabilities (including students with 504 accommodation needs, students with high-incidence disorders and disabilities, and those from diverse backgrounds such as English language learners and those for whom attaining basic literacy is a struggle) in the regular classroom.
