SPC 5820 The Universally Designed Inclusive Classroom


The application of universal design for learning (UDL) and differentiated instruction to facilitate positive student learning outcomes in both skill development and the content areas is the focus of this course. The goal of this class is to identify evidence-based instructional strategies that promote learning across the curriculum for students with disabilites. Teacher Candidates will learn specific strategies for teaching academic skills to students who differ in experiences, readiness to learn, interests, intelligence, languages, cultures, gender, and mode of learning. Content area instruction will focus on the strategies instruction model (SIM) which incorporates varied approaches for teaching students who struggle to read, write, and organize themselves. Instructional planning for diverse learners that includes UDL, differentiated instruction, evidence-based instructional strategies, tiered and leveled practice and products, cross-standards based instruction, and technology will be addressed.
