ED 340 - Teaching in Inclusive PK-6 Classrooms

The purpose of this course is to provide participants with research-based strategies to support and honor all learners. Defining what it means to “include” students as well as what it means to “honor” them are ethical constructs that guide this course. Students develop a nuanced understanding of inclusive practices while honing pedagogical skills to assess and educate all learners. Topics of study include: disability awareness, special education law and practices, and social-emotional learning strategies.
