INCH 410 - Diversity and Inclusion for Inclusive Early Childhood and Childhood Classrooms

Pre-service teacher candidates will build their foundational knowledge about theory, issues, laws, and teaching strategies that lead to informed practice in inclusive classrooms. This course will address legal and methodological issues related to teaching students with disabilities, specifically: universal design for learning in inclusive classrooms, disability awareness, the role of the Committee on Special Education, and the IEP process. Pre-service teacher candidates will also be invited to examine how and why some of the life experiences, socialization patterns, worldviews, and the cultural identity development of students may be inconsistent with their own. Must be taken concurrently with INCH 411.
