Recognizing and Responding to Diverse Learners

3 credits · Peabody College - Professional

This course is designed to be a "job-embedded" experience that combines regular contact hours with full-time in-school experience with students with special needs. It is a hybrid course and practicum. The goal is to ensure that candidates both understand their responsibilities with respect to the law and language of special education services and develop the capacity to recognize and respond to all students who are not flourishing academically, emotionally, socially or psychologically. All students are either full-time residents, half-time, full year student teachers, or other students working in school at least half-time. [3]
