SPED 630 - Advanced Strategies for Teaching Students with Mild/Moderate Disabilities


4 credits
This course will focus on 3 dynamic aspects of successful teaching practice: assessment, instruction, and behavior management, in relation to creating classroom communities which reflect the complex interaction between the student, the teacher, and the environment. Advanced collaboration and consultation skills will be woven throughout all 3 topics. Personal reflections and case studies will be used in designing instructional strategies which are both cognitive and affective, and which encourage active engagement in the learning process. Evaluating instructional practices will also be covered.
