ELED 308 Teaching Exceptional Learners K-6
This course prepares preservice elementary teachers to modify instruction for learners with needs outside of main- stream instructional practice. Specifically, the needs of inclusion students, gifted learners and other students with special circumstances will be addressed. Application will be integrated with the methods coursework as students interact directly with the diverse learners found in their field placement classrooms. Students will learn proce- dures for adapting instruction, varying assessment procedures, designing appropriate interventions, altering equipment usage and managing IEPs and para-professionals. The course is an integral component of the Elementary Methods Block and includes an extensive field placement.
