Description:

This course provides teacher candidates with appropriate curriculum alternatives and a repertoire of evidencebased instructional strategies to address the twin goals of accommodating individual differences while promoting meaningful access to curriculum content [both NJ CCCS and alternative content] for students with significant cognitive and learning disabilities, K-5. Teacher candidates review learner characteristics as the basis to mesh curriculum and instruction, and placement options for delivery of instruction with learner needs. Curriculum emphases that depart from traditional academics to encompass life skills, career development, and development of social learning competence are explored in depth. The course guides Teacher Candidates to promote positive student learning outcomes in both skills and content areas through integration of the NJ CCCS, adaptive/assistive technologies, alternative curriculum, and modified assessment and materials, as appropriate. Making data-based professional decisions that employ technologies to make the general education more accessible for students with disabilities is an emphasis of this course.
