SPED 7722 - Collaboration in Special Education

(3 Lecture Hours 0 Lab Hours 3 Credit Hours)

SPED 6715 or SPED 6701 , and Admission to Teacher Education
This course assists in preparing educators to enter educational settings ready to operate within the new paradigm of collaboration rather than that of an isolated professional. There is a strong focus on respecting the roles various persons play, whether it be professional, family member, or student, and how these roles support each other in the process of designing effective programs for students, particularly those with disabilities. Much of the discussion will center around inclusive settings.
