Description:

Lecture ED1011, SS1011, SS1211, SS1311, SS1411, SS Core Trans, EN1011, EN1015, FY1011, FY1001 This experiential course provides students the opportunity to develop a fundamental understanding of the special education field, and current practices in teaching students with special needs. As people with special needs themselves, students in this class will actively practice advocating for themselves and others with disabilities as a part of the class. They will be expected to refine their ability to articulate their learning profile and needs using sophisticated vocabulary drawn from the class and their own inquiry. Students will be expected to engage in two public presentations designed to educate others about disabilities. In addition, each student will be expected to mentor a middle school student with special needs on campus each week as part of the class. Finally, students will choose to focus their final project on pedagogy and practice on one of the following major categories of disability: autism spectrum disorders, emotional or behavioral disorders, mental retardation, physical impairments, deafness, low vision or blindness, or speech or language impairments.
