Teacher residents explore the triumphs and challenges of families with children with disabilities and focus on partnerships with parents. They evaluate their teaching effectiveness and adjust their instruction based on monitoring learning through observational, formative, and summative assessments. The course gives special attention to supporting universal design for learning and/or differentiated instruction through the use of educational technologies and other instructional strategies.
