MAED 3003 - Mild Disabilities and Management of the Mathematics Classroom

This course is designed to provide preservice teachers with knowledge and skills for managing the total instructional setting in a mathematics classroom. Specifically, the course will address the characteristics of students from diverse backgrounds with mild intellectual, emotional/behavioral and/or learning disabilities. The course investigates the conceptual and historical understanding of people with disabilities in societal contexts. Diagnoses, intervention practices, and research-based best practices for the inclusion of all students in the mathematics classroom will be examined. This course explores how these considerations contribute to a comprehensive classroom management plan for the mathematics classroom. NOTE: the Professional Standards Commission requires a grade of B or higher for this course and similar ones that address the needs of students in the field of special education.
