Candidates will learn techniques to integrate IEP and ITP goals into multicultural-sensitive academic, behavioral, social, and transition objectives in the school curriculum. Candidates will create lesson plans and implement lessons, using diagnostic teaching techniques. Instruction focusing on transition skills and post K–12 educational and career opportunities will be included. Issues related to grading and academic advancement will be discussed.
