EDS 591 Student Teaching/Seminar Low Incidences
This seminar focuses on special education law, ethics, compliance, and mandated practices under IDEA 2004 as it relates to free, appropriate, public education in the least
restrictive environment. Candidates also explore and investigate characteristics of and issues pertaining to a low-incidence disability category. The student teaching experience affords
candidates the opportunity to work with a multidisciplinary team to meet the concerns and needs of children with low-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.
