EDUC 593 Inclusive Classroom
This course assists teachers when identifying children, youth and young adults with special needs as outlined in PL 108-446 (i.e., learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, physical impairments, other health impairments, sensory impairments, communication disorders, emotional/behavior disorders, autism, and traumatic brain injury) and PL 95-561 (i.e., gifted and talented). Students will research concepts of inclusion, teaming approaches, assessment techniques, certification requirements, individual education plans, and the use of modifications and adaptations within an inclusive environment in general education classrooms. Students will research the roles and responsibilities of a general education teacher on a special education team. A focus on collaborative processes, organizational support services for students and families, and the individualization of learning plans that support students with disabilities guides research and learning for the course.
