EDUA 5790 General Educator's Guide to Spec Ed

THE GENERAL EDUCATOR'S GUIDE TO SPECIAL EDUCATION

More than 7 million children with disabilities currently receive special education services across the United States, and this number continues to grow. The size of this population means that teachers in inclusive classrooms need the skills and knowledge to teach and support students with disabilities.

In this course, you will learn about the 13 major types of disabilities, the laws governing special education, the individualized education program (IEP) process, and best practices for working with students and their families. You will develop actionable strategies to support the assessment, instruction, academic success, and social and emotional development of students with IEPs.

With the strategies and best practices from this course, you will be equipped to better serve students with disabilities regardless of your grade, subject area, or teaching context.
