EDSP 425 - Developing Academic Performance-Mild/Moderate

Unit(s): 4

EDSP 425 is designed to provide candidates in the Education Specialist Mild to Moderate Disabilities Credential Program with a research-based perspective on developing academic performance for students with mild to moderate disabilities. The relationship among assessment, curriculum, and instruction is investigated through the examination and application of a variety of informal assessments, instructional strategies, and curricula within the context of access to the core curriculum and content standards. Curricular modifications and instructional strategies that support students with mild/moderate disabilities in inclusive settings are explored. Coursework follows a “theory into practice” format consisting of classroom simulations, visitations, guided activities, and student projects using field-based lessons.

Grading: GRD
Prerequisite(s): admission to the Education Special Credential Program or permission of the instructor.
