Course Description

In Special Education Part 1, candidates will gain a general understanding of how to work successfully with students who have various learning needs and bridge the gap between student exceptionalities and programs of study. This course will immerse teachers in the Standards of Special Education in Alberta and provide early intervention strategies to identify at-risk students as well as precise steps to follow to involve the in-school team and ensure that students' needs are met. Through guided thinking routines, reflection, exploration and collaborative discussions, candidates will develop a wide array of pedagogical approaches that have proven successful when working with identified students. Practical work will include developing useful plans and lessons that can be used readily in the classroom. After completing this course, any teacher should feel well equipped to better understand the needs of students with varied learning profiles and feel confident in their ability to adequately plan for them and report on their progress.
