MEE 7601 Education of Diverse Populations and Exceptional Children in the Elementary School
Students will learn about and apply concepts directly relating to the educational needs of all learners presented in the classroom. Assessment instruments used to identify eligibility for specialized instruction and/or related services and the use of evaluation data appropriate to the design and implementation of individualized educational programs (IEPs) will also be studied and applied to the professional and ethical responsibilities required of general education teachers in multi-cultural settings. Interventions for specific disabilities, as generated by evaluation data, will be created. Federal, state, and local legislation, regulations, policies, and procedures will be reviewed and analyzed as appropriate to the delivery of services to students with special needs. The social, emotional, and intellectual characteristics of gifted students will be examined, including an analysis of identification procedures and service delivery models. Pedagogy and resources that support IEP goals and objectives for gifted students will be presented.
