COURSE DESCRIPTION

The goal of this course is to promote the physical and social inclusion of students with a

disability in the regular classroom. The objectives of the course include: a) increasing

teacher knowledge of the importance of full integration; b) developing practical strategies

to support integration at the classroom and school levels; and c) identifying resources, both

people and services, to provide support to teachers and students. Although this course will

draw from research and theory to support its objectives, the primary focus of the course will

be on pragmatic strategies for the regular classroom teacher, regardless of previous

experience with students with a disability.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS
