CEP 840 - Teaching Exceptional Children & Youth in the General Education Classroom
Instructor: S. Peters
This course was the basic course for the special education concentration of the MAED program. It began with the basics of special education, learning about IEP's and legal requirements for special education students. Throughout the course, symptoms and characteristics of various special education disabilities were studied along with teaching strategies for working with those students. The final project in this course was to identify a problem of practice I've experienced as a teacher, analyze the causes and/or effects of the problem, and develop a plan of action to rectify the problems.

CEP 841 - Classroom Management in Inclusive Classrooms
Instructor: C. Courtad
This course was the first in my degree program. In the class, we learned about many behavior disorders that are common in children and ways to prevent discipline issues for those children. We studied many accomodations and strategies that can be used to create a successful learning environment for all students. During the class, each student presented a professional development presentation on issues that we had studied. I created a slideshow presentation taking a look at common behavior disorders and suggestions for how to teach students with those issues.

CEP 842 - Instruction in Inclusive Classrooms
Instructor: C. Okolo
This course focused on creating differentiated curriculums necessary for inclusive classrooms primarily in the areas of mathematics, science, and social studies. A major focus of the course was to utilize principles of the Universal Design for Learning in creating lesson plans and assignments. The course concluded with the creation of an 18 hour professional development class designed to train teachers about curriculum strategies and skills for teaching all students effectively.
