Methods of Teaching Exceptional Learners

Catalog description

Exemplar teachers take ownership of the well-being, growth, and improvement of all of their learners, including those with special rights. In this course, educators learn to plan and implement individualized instruction for learners with disabilities in a variety of settings. Educators first plan instruction that meets the needs of all learners in a general education classroom using universal design, and then implement and monitor strategies to help individual learners access grade-level instruction and build independence. Educators support learners with disabilities in literacy by implementing research-based specialized literacy instruction that addresses learner needs in foundational skills, vocabulary, and comprehension. Educators also support learners with disabilities in math by applying understanding of grade-level and prerequisite standards to identify learner needs and by designing, implementing, and monitoring specialized math instruction.
