SPED 610 - Applied Issues in Special Education

3 credits
In this course, Level II candidates discuss current challenges and controversies in the field of special education, reflect on various positions, options and emotions of each, and research additional perspectives. The reflection and critical thinking involved in discussing these issues will deepen understanding of the realities inherent in teaching students who are often marginalized by the majority culture, and introduce new perspectives which will, in turn, guide actions and decisions in actual practice in the field. Topics include social justice, advocacy, inclusion, least restrictive environment, overrepresentation of students of color, standardized assessment, and transitional services.
