Description
As a teacher, are you concerned about being able to meet the needs of all of your students? Do you ask yourself, how can I identify students with special needs and teach them most effectively?

To help prepare you for this critical role, this course addresses practical research-based strategies to help you design curriculum, instruction, and assessment for students with special needs. The course begins with processes to help you identify special learning needs and provides essential concepts and strategies for adapting instruction and assessment to help all students meet desired learning outcomes. You will also explore the challenges, issues, and opportunities related to teaching in an inclusive classroom environment.
