This course supports the enhancement of professional knowledge, ethical practice, leadership and ongoing learning. Special Education, Part I, explores all exceptionalities, teaching strategies, program planning and other issues related to teaching and learning in all classrooms. This course is designed to focus on integrating students with special needs into the regular classroom. As a result of this course, you will become familiar with current trends and issues associated with the integration of students with special education needs into the regular classroom. As well, techniques and strategies involved in the accommodation and modification of content, instruction, application and evaluation will be discussed. This information will be presented in the context of the educational changes that are present in Ontario. A focus on creating a positive learning environment that reflects care, diversity and equity are foundational in this course. Although this course will be of greatest interest to those teachers who wish to deepen their information regarding students identified as exceptional, all classroom teachers may wish to better prepare themselves for teaching students who have special learning needs.
