3 Credit(s)
SPED 361 will examine the principles and the techniques for monitoring the academic progress of students with mild to moderate disabilities. Emphasis will be 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 will examine the implications of both cultural and linguistic diversity. Through learning to modify materials, creating instructional strategies, and developing compliant Individualized Educational Programs (IEPs) as a Case Manager, candidates will become capable of providing equitable opportunities for students with mild to moderate disabilities with a variety of social, emotional, communication, and cognitive abilities.
