EDU 355 - Elementary and Middle School Level Special Education Practice


Prerequisites: EDU 200  and EDU 202 
In this course, prospective teachers examine the characteristics of elementary and middle school students with the most prevalent disabilities (e.g., learning disabilities, communication disorders) and learn about differentiating instruction in mixed ability classrooms. Considerable time is spent reading about, and discussing the educational rights of children and young adolescents with disabilities, and the legal obligations of their schools and teachers. The primary emphasis in EDU 355, however, is on what research indicates about how best to plan, manage, and evaluate learning effectively in diverse classroom settings, as this is what good teachers must do regardless of their politics about mainstreaming and inclusion.
