EDUC 4292 - Collaborative Inclusive Co-Planning and Co-Teaching

The course is designed to provide opportunities for students to develop knowledge and skills of effective collaborative behaviors and language; review and practice collaborative co-teaching lesson plans previously completed in EDUC 4290; and build effective partnerships among professionals (e.g., teachers, paraprofessionals, related service personnel, and/or human service personnel) working with PreK-12 individuals with exceptionalities and multilingual learners in inclusive learning environments. The knowledge base acquired in this course includes the practice of effective communication skills, and understanding the influence of cultural diversity when engaging in co-teaching and teaming in working with students with disabilities and multilingual learners. Students will be engaged in continuous reflective activities throughout the course which will enable them to self-assess and make improvements in their knowledge and skills learned in this course. Students enrolled in this course will complete a minimum of 15 to 25 clinical field experiences in a school and/or agency site. (Spring only)
