Seminar in Mathematics and Science Instruction for Students with Disabilities

Catalog description

Explore advanced methods of effective mathematics and science instruction for students with disabilities. SPLED 509C Seminar in Mathematics and Science Instruction for Students with Disability (3) This seminar builds on prerequisite special education courses in curriculum and instructional methods and is designed for students who desire to develop advanced knowledge of intervention research in mathematics and science and practical application of the most effective instructional practices for students with disabilities. The focus of the course is on developing an indepth knowledge of the scientifically supported instructional and assessment practices for students with disabilities in mathematics and science. This course will cover five key topical areas. In the first area, the high quality indicators of intervention research are explored through a series of readings and classroom discussions. In the second topic area, specific instructional practices supported in the research for teaching mathematics to students with disabilities are presented, discussed, and synthesized. Similarly, in the third topic area specific instructional practices supported in the research for teaching science to students with disabilities are presented, discussed, and synthesized. In the fourth area, the advanced application of curriculum-based measurement procedures is developed. Finally, in the fifth area, current and emerging technology applications for students with disabilities in mathematics and science are reviewed and presented.
