EDS 590 Student Teaching/Seminar High Incidence
This seminar focuses on collaboration, co-taught classrooms, and other inclusive
practices. The seminar explores characteristics of students with disabilities across IDEA
classification areas focused on high-incidence exceptionalities. The student teaching experience
affords candidates the opportunity to work with a multidisciplinary team to meet the concerns
and needs of children with high incidence exceptionalities. Candidates also work on daily
communication skills and collaborative techniques with families. Seminar sessions help the
candidate process, synthesize, and reflect on work in the classroom/school setting. Candidates share experiences and ask for critiques on work samples from peers and the professor. Guest speakers range from parents/parent advocates to administrators.
