SELF-STUDY: Students with Disabilities (15 hours)

“When a task is given in school, why does one student take thirty minutes to complete it and another only eight minutes?”

While it is certainly challenging to teach all students effectively, this is very much a real possibility. Sharing a research-based framework that accommodates every learner and provides practical strategies to add elements of flexibility in teaching presentation, student expression and meaningful engagement, this course helps teachers understand and strive to meet every student’s potential for academic excellence. Teachers will better understand the IEP process through examples for designing, planning and implementing an IEP and consider assistive communication techniques that can improve classroom communication for students with disabilities. This course provides teachers with tools, strategies and technologies to create an inclusive classroom.
