Description

This class focuses on instruction of pupils with significant cognitive disabilities, particularly students who benefit most from alternative functional curricula and are assessed on alternate achievement standards. This course embeds a semester-long supervised practicum where students will apply the methods in an adapted classroom setting. Topics to be addressed include planning and implementing instruction, accessing general curricula, specialized curricula in relevant areas, alternate assessment strategies, and the science of reading. Methods I focuses on preschool and elementary age students, but the curriculum strategies and best practices can be generalized to other grade-levels and are applicable across the lifespan.
