This course helped me understand the essential role of leadership in the classroom and to understand the role of classroom management as one of prevention.

2015

  • CEP 801A -- Collaboration and Consultation in Special Education -- Spring 2015

Course Instructor: E. Bouck

Throughout this course, I looked at the professional and ethical responsibilities as a special education teacher.

Lastly, this course talked about advocacy for students with disabilities in school and community settings.

I focused on students with literacy difficulties and disabilities (such as learning disabilities), and examined technology applications that can be used in special and general education classroom. The focus was on students in K-12 education, with a primary emphasis on students with mild learning and behavior difficulties.

2016

  • CEP 842 -- Content-Area Instruction for Students with Mild Disabilities -- Spring 2016

Course Instructor: C. Okolo
