Prospective teachers focus on the growing diversity of student populations in contemporary elementary and secondary schools. Consideration is given to servicing special needs of students from minority families; students with handicapping conditions and the use of assistive technology; and those who are identified as gifted and talented. Home and community factors are studied in order to foster the health, learning, appropriate behavior and independence of all students in a supportive, respectful and least restrictive environment. Particular emphasis is placed on developing open-mindedness, eliminating prejudicial bias as well as addressing targeted students' strengths and needs. Principles of nonsexist and collaborative education will also be explored. Field observation is required. Prerequisite: Approval of School of Education.
