Introduction
These two courses will be taught as an integrated unit, demonstrating
to students how theory blends into practice. To get maximal benefit from
this teaching approach, students are advised to take both courses
together. For those who have already taken Educ. 422 and wish to take
Educ. 424, they may do so.
Please note for Educ. 424, this instructor runs the remedial lab in
the following manner: One-to-one tutorials with children/adolescents
diagnosed to have reading problems, one-hour per morning, four
mornings/week. Location: SFU ?
SFU students will go in two shifts: 9:00
- 10:00
a.m.
10:00 - 11:00 a.m. SFU students will select the grade level
that they want to work with..
The reasons Dr. Wang runs the remedial lab 4 days per week are these:
(1) In order to discover the effectiveness of the remedial techniques,
you need at least 3-4 data points per week to monitor reading-disabled
students remedial progress. (2) Interacting with such children/
adolescents on a continual basis per week enables you to gain insight into
their learning modes and performance patterns.. Needless to say, only
hard-working students should enroll in this remedial lab.

1. To impart knowledge of: a) history and concept of learning
disabilities
