View Academic Calendar
 

This course explores accommodations and modifications for special learners within the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) and enhances regular and special educators’ understanding of how best to address the individual needs of special learners. Cases and readings focus on the creation of appropriate accommodations, the integration of accommodations into a general education classroom, the legal requirement for accommodations, and the roles of the general and special education educators within the LRE. Course participants will contribute to online discussions regarding beliefs, best practices, challenges, current research, and ways these affect their own teaching practice.
