CIED 2070 Educational Practices in Inclusive Classrooms

This course provides a knowledge base in teacher dispositions, national and state standards, pedagogical content knowledge, and learning theory to provide the framework for lesson plan development, differentiated teaching strategies, family/school connections, learning environment, and classroom management. The influence of cultural and linguistic diversity and poverty upon learning is explored as are learner characteristics of different disabilities in physical, emotional, cognitive, and socio-behavioral domains. Teacher candidates examine the procedures for identifying, assessing, and providing services for P-12 students with disabilities. The course meets at WPU and includes a 20-hour school observation component where students observe classroom practices in a special education setting.
