This course provides in-depth examination of instructional planning and assessment in the inclusive classroom. Built on the learning community philosophy developed in Principles and Pedagogies in the Inclusive Classroom, this course is a broad overview of inclusive elementary education. Standards, philosophies, theories, and teaching and learning principles that underpin inclusive elementary education are revealed to enable teacher candidates to begin developing a personal philosophy of how children learn and what teachers need to do to support and assess their learning. Candidates learn to write lesson plans and incorporate different teaching strategies to enhance student learning. Teacher candidates design, review, and reflect on results of varied assessments of students learning typically used in the elementary inclusive classroom. This course includes clinical classroom visits in inclusive urban school settings.
