This course is designed to prepare prospective teachers to effectively teach the range of students that comprise a typical classroom. It provides information about four groups of students with special needs: students with disabilities, gifted and talented learners, culturally and linguistically diverse individuals, and students at risk. Characteristics of students with special needs, modifications in teaching methods, and classroom management techniques for academic, social, emotional, and cognitive differences will be addressed. Federal legislation, team collaboration, special support services, and IEPs will be addressed.
