Special   Populations

As we discuss special populations this week, we are going to approach it through the lens of being a Student Teacher in a Special education classroom. Also, we will explore other resources to assist in better understanding Special populations when developing curriculum & assessments.

Read the article When in Rome...: Influences on Special Education Student-Teachers' Teaching and respond to the following;
 

Part 1:

• What did the article suggest was important in helping      teachers prepare for instructional planning when including Special      Populations?
• What do YOU believe is important to consider when it      comes to the student teaching experience and the relationship between      student teacher and cooperating teacher?

Part 2:

• Conduct some research within the Ashford Library and locate      an academic resource that addresses special populations and designing      assessments with them in mind. Share the resource you find within your      response.

Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your classmates. Try to find one with a different response than your own. Provide feedback regarding your shared or differing perspectives and pose a question to promote critical thinking.
 

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your discussion.
