SPED 591 - Directed Teaching Placement I

3 Unit(s)

This first of two Student Teaching courses provides Education Specialist candidates with the opportunity to instruct students with disabilities in the core academic curriculum at the grade levels and in the service delivery modes of their assignment. Through this experience, candidates come to understand how to deliver a comprehensive program of systematic instruction with accommodations and adaptations in the academic subjects of their assignment based on their students’ Individualized Education Programs (IEP). Candidates are expected to use progress monitoring based on each student’s Individualized Educational Program at key points during instruction to determine whether students are progressing adequately toward achieving the state adopted academic content standards for students. They pace instruction and re-teach content based upon evidence gathered using assessment strategies such as questioning students and examining student work and products.
