TEP248: Key Competencies in Special Education
This unit focuses on five main areas: inclusive communities, inclusive schools, inclusive classrooms, developing resilient learners and becoming an inclusive teacher. Competencies in classroom behaviour management and data-based instruction are addressed. Emphasis is placed on strategies that will equip teachers working in regular classes to design and implement programs of instruction for a diverse range of children with special needs. This unit provides a firm foundation for students interested in pursuing further studies in Special Education. Students intending to teach within state schools must include this unit in their course of study in order to meet current Department of School Education requirements. Two (2) of the contact hours are online. There are no live lectures.
