SIE 365 Inclus Curr & Instruct Design

The course is designed to enable Adolescence Education teacher candidates to develop knowledge and skills in the development of curriculum and instruction using principles of Universal Design for Learning. Theory and research-based instructional models and strategies for teaching learners within a differentiated learning environment will be a strong focus of the course. Candidates will write lessons in their content major across a variety of grade levels. A major outcome of the course is to develop a foundational awareness of the complexity of planning, delivering, and assessing instruction within the classroom as professionals work together to meet state and national curriculum standards across content areas. Models of differentiated instruction for diverse learners, including but not limited to accelerated learners, ELL, and learners with disabilities will be addressed. The field component of the course is integrated into all assignments. Students must obtain fingerprint clearance prior to beginning field experiences. Open only to Adolescence Education and SIE majors at Saint Rose. ASPIRE Prerequisites: SIE 146 and EPY 243. A 25-hour field experience is required outside of class. Fall.
