EDU 3370 - Models of Assessment and Intervention in Special Education

4 cr

This course focuses on the role of the special education teacher K though 21 years of age, as he/she teaches students with learning disabilities, learning impairments, and behavioral challenges in the resource room and in the regular classroom. The emphasis is on planning, instruction, and assessment for students K through 21 years, including the linkage of assessment/evaluation with curriculum/instruction and technology. Students will be exposed to the most common assessment measures used to identify and teach students with special needs and the "paper process" that is legally required for all students with identified challenges. Emphasis is placed on literacy instruction and access to the general education curriculum. The field component of the course (60 hours) is designed to give the student hands-on practice, and opportunities for observation, teaching, and assessment that bridges previous coursework and leads to student teaching.
