| (3 cr.) Treatment of exceptional individuals throughout
history and the importance of the values of
societies regarding differences form the basis
for students' understanding of special education
from its inception to current practices. Topics
of discussion include: history and philosophy,
laws, guidelines and procedures related to
providing special education; the needs of
students with exceptionalities, including
giftedness; the particular needs of students for
whom English is a second language; and
instructional considerations for students with
exceptionalities in inclusive settings. From a
philosophic perspective, students learn skills to
include children with exceptionalities into their
elementary classrooms.
