SPC 3530 Instructional Management in Diverse and Inclusive Settings

This course examines the multiple facets of managing instruction for diverse learners in a variety of educational settings. The course stresses New Jersey’s Core Curriculum Content Standards (NJ CCCS) and district curriculum requirements as foundations for teacher candidates to learn to develop units and differentiated lesson plans to facilitate long- and short-term instructional planning for all learners. For students with disabilities, the development of Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Levels, Individualized Education Plan (IEP) goals, objectives, and supplementary aids and services are emphasized. Teacher candidates study techniques to individualize teaching strategies, testing accomodations, and curriculum adaptations to assist learners in maintaining access to the NJ CCCS. The creation and organization of shared classroom environments that facilitate learning and collaboration with peer-colleagues in all instructional settings are highlighted.
