Course Information

Description

Through this course, students develop a comprehensive understanding of the practices, policies, and perspectives that shape the teaching of learners with diverse abilities in inclusive classrooms. In classroom practice, students will engage readings, simulations, and exercises to learn and apply their growing knowledge of learner variability to plan effective differentiated instruction and meet the needs of learners both socially and academically in their classrooms. Through examining laws and policies, students understand the identification process, the full range of disabilities and services, and how individual education plans (IEPs) work. Students learn how to use Multi-Tier System of Supports (MTSS) such as Response to Intervention (RtI) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to serve all learners. By reflecting on different perspectives, students increase their own awareness of how beliefs and experiences impact classroom decision making.
Restricted to TTL program and counseling program students.
