TE 408 Special Education Module SyllabusSpring Semester 2012

Because as a college we believe that it is important to address the needs of all students and also due to the national trend of increasing inclusion of special education students into mainstream classrooms, we on the secondary social studies preparation team have developed a separate module for learning about working with these students. While we will be focusing on this topic more intensely through these six weeks it is our expectation that you will keep the needs of these students always present in your mind as you continue with lesson planning activities, micro-teaches and field placement work throughout the semester.
