This course examines principles and techniques for instructing the academic progress of students with mild to moderate disabilities. Emphasis is placed on the selection of developmentally appropriate curricula that can be examined, adapted, implemented, modified, and evaluated using a variety of evidence-based pedagogical approaches. The course also examines the implications of cultural and linguistic diversity. Through learning to modify materials, create instructional strategies, and develop compliant Individualized Educational Programs (IEPs), candidates become capable of providing equitable opportunities for students with mild to moderate disabilities with a variety of social, emotional, communication, and cognitive abilities.
