Course Name
Current Issues and the Exceptional Child
Description
This is the foundational course that covers current trends and issues which transcend any particular "category"ť of diversity. In particular, the course critically examines the current educational practice of "full inclusion"ť and lays the foundation for critically evaluating how content of subsequent courses might lead to more inclusive learning communities. This is the introductory course that brings together each new cohort in the master's program and so one important focus is the establishment of a cooperative learning community. This course also lays the groundwork for future work toward either a major project or thesis by introducing the basic elements of each as they relate to this program.
