Courses
Learning Environments
This course is designed to give participants
in the Inclusion Program an introduction to the skills needed to manage
an Inclusive Classroom. This course will focus on the integration
of management theories and practice in instructional management, and environmental
and interaction analysis. The creating and managing of an inclusive
learning community will be approached from the perspectives of community
building, attending to multiple intelligences and learning styles, respectful
approaches to discipline issues, and supporting students with disabilities
and challenging behaviors.
Education of Learners with Special
Needs
Although the title of this course sets it apart
from what has been traditionally referred to as "regular" or "general"
education, the goals, objectives, and content will reflect the prevailing
philosophy and practices referred to as Inclusive Education. Grounded
in the federal law mandating a "free appropriate public education in the
least restrictive environment" for all children with disabilities, inclusive
education acknowledges the unique limitations imposed on children by the
specific nature of their personal disabilities, and respects the notions
that all children can learn when given the right supports and services.
