Description: This course is a supervised field-based experience in which participants will demonstrate both knowledge and skills expected of educators who work with students who have learning disabilities. The experience provides multiple opportunities to accommodate the needs of individual learners, structuring both learning environments and activities to optimize performance and independence. Participants assess students' learning needs, then plan, develop, and deliver appropriate instruction, while monitoring progress through an integral assessment strategy. Structuring and using supportive learning environments includes making effective use of appropriate technologies, grouping and collaborative arrangements, and available resources, such as paraprofessionals.
